Our Alumni Stories

I got to work on so many projects! I worked on the Y2Kids conference held in 1999, wrote for the Research Advancing Practice (RAP) publication, student edited the Juvenile Law Digest, assisted with the Nebraska Juvenile Code revision, working on a research project examining reasons for termination of parental rights cases, examined child sex abuse prosecutions, and many more! I always felt like my CCFL Research Assistant time was a reprieve into the real world. The work I got to do while at CCFL brought to life all the skills I was learning in graduate school and made learning research methodology, statistics, and theory seem much more relevant and important.
