Testimonials
Rebecca Elensky '13 | Records Examiner/Analyst for Forfeiture Support Associates, LLC
"Not many students can say that they got a job right out of college. I was lucky enough to have this happen to me and thank my professors and the time I spent at Hilbert College for that.
When conducting my first phone interview I was asked questions about forensics to get my basic knowledge. I was able to answer all the questions and ended up getting a job as a latent print technician. As a result of taking classes on fingerprinting, I knew more than some of my new colleagues on different processes that were used to develop fingerprints.
I am fortunate for the knowledge I learned at Hilbert College and hope to use more of it in the future while continuing my career."
Erica Laduca '13 | Crime Scene Specialist; Homicide Division for Marion County Police Department
"Here, they pretty much do everything we learned about in school. They were excited I knew how to find different angles in relation to blood spatter and that I knew how to properly draw a diagram and knew how to label everything correctly.
So kudos to you guys!"
