The Role of Professional Practice Faculty
Upon qualifying for participation in the Professional Practice Program on the Clifton Campus, students are assigned to a Professional Practice faculty member who is responsible for specific phases of the program. These faculty members assist approximately 3,000 students each year in developing, implementing and verifying their professional interests through program classes, through positions with more than 1500 employers on challenging and meaningful practice assignments and by regular individual mentoring sessions with the students.
-
The Professional Practice Faculty Advisers are responsible for all communications between the Division of Professional Practice and employers participating in the program.
Due to the national and international scope of the program, it is not economically feasible to visit all students on the job, however, the internet, fax and phone calls are utilized for on-going communications.
-
The Professional Practice Faculty Adviser acts as a catalyst between the student and the professional practice employer, assists each student in integrating practice and classroom theory, in increasing the range of associations with experience and in realizing the fullest potential on a discipline related practice assignment.
Professional Practice Faculty members are also leaders in the field of cooperative education and, as such, significant contributors to its ongoing development.
