A site visit is strongly recommended for practicum sites if possible before accepting a position. A two-semester commitment of 16 hours per week is required before an assignment is made. A site visit is not necessary for admission to research sites. A two-semester commitment of 8 hours per week is required. A student can opt to take a both a practicum and a research experience.
Students arrange interviews for the sites they're interested in.
These forms allow faculty members and site coordinators to track interest in the sites, follow up on interview arrangements, etc. Forms will be available at the September 8th pre-orientation meeting for Risk and Prevention students, at the September 11th practicum presentations, the September 13th research experience presentations, and from Sharon Hibbert in 607 Larsen Hall. Although some interviews may take place as early as September 8th, following the Pre-Orientation meeting, the majority are held between Monday, September 11th and Thursday, September 21st . These ranking forms are used to sort out student priorities, so you must submit one to be considered for a site. In cases where students are interested in doing both a practicum and research experience, this must be stated clearly on the form.
