Criminal justice major Natalie Eaton completed a spring internship at the Surry County Courthouse in Dobson, NC. The clerk’s office handles both criminal and civil matters, which range from murders to foreclosures. Based on her CJ education, Natalie was qualified to be hired during her internship. Natalie said, “As deputy clerk, I observed all types of cases. My internship allowed me to build connections with many different people involved in the criminal justice system. Being able to speak with judges, attorneys, officers, and clients helped me to gain a greater understanding of this field. With the quality of education I received at Appalachian State I felt prepared for the workforce.”
