Pam Kiser, professor of human services, has been chosen to develop the framework for a senior level internship for the new human services program at the University of United Arab Emirates.
Kiser will use her textbook, “Getting the Most from your Human Services Internship: Learning from Experience,” as the basis for the internship program. She will develop a syllabus for the course, detailed plans for each class meeting, student assignments and other supporting material to create a portfolio for faculty members to follow as they implement the internship program.
Kiser is one of several U.S. university faculty members to be chosen to develop various segments of the new program. She will submit materials by June 1 for review and final revisions will be made by July 1.
The project is being coordinated in the United States by Gerald Weeks, chair of the department of marriage, family and community counseling at the University of Nevada, Las Vegas. Dr. Essam A. Abdel-Hafiz, associate provost of the University of United Arab Emirates, is directing development of the program in that country.
