A drive to help troubled young people get their lives back on track lies behind Alex Wilson’s decision to study criminal justice at the University of Canterbury (UC).
Alex Wilson is one of the first six people to graduate with a Master of Criminal Justice degree from the University of Canterbury.
The 22-year-old will become one of the first six people to graduate with a Master of Criminal Justice (MCJ) degree from UC at a Christchurch Town Hall ceremony next Wednesday.
UC is holding three graduation ceremonies for nearly 1100 graduands in the central city next week.
Wilson initially had plans to apply for police college but her studies revealed other choices and opportunities, she says.
