Bien, a member of Knox College's class of 2022, majors in Political Science and Environmental Studies and is a member of Phi Gamma Delta, Pre-Law Club, and a saxophonist for the Knox Jazz Ensemble. Of the internship, Bien said, "Interns have the opportunity to go on investigations, visit jails, visit the coroner's office, help develop cases for prosecutors, listen to court cases, visit the Juvenile Detention Center, and visit the Lake County State's Attorney's Office Children's Advocacy Center. Depending on the task you are assigned to, your assignment could take a day or maybe two weeks, and then you'll get a new assignment, so I would say the work is very versatile." — Merit Pages News Deerfield's Green Admitted Into Schubert Honors Program At Ohio Wesleyan UniversityHannah Green, of Deerfield, is among more than 130 first- and second-year year students invited to join Ohio Wesleyan University's selective Leland F. and Helen Schubert Honors Program this fall.
