Cynthia Orrey ’15 started out as a nursing major when she came to UT, but after several courses, she wasn’t feeling a connection. So she reached out to Career Services, which led her to try a few criminology courses to learn more about the field.
“I loved it immediately,” said Orrey of Ocala, FL, now a criminology major. “There are real-life experiences you hear about in class. The professors have a lot of experience working with law enforcement, and the subject just makes sense to me. “
She ultimately wants to go to law school and do advocacy work, such as with foster care children. This semester she is interning for the Florida Coalition Against Human Trafficking, a nonprofit whose mission is to provide outreach and services to victims of human trafficking in Florida.
