MOSS STAFF WRITER A large part of a student's educa- tion includes some real world expe- rience in his or her major through application programs offered through the city. By allowing students to work with some major departments and companies in Bowling Green and surrounding cities, they gain serious experience in their respective fields. The secretary in the advising office for the health department said that nursing, physical therapy majors and most health majors have to complete certain clinical hours. These clinical hours are not com- pleted at the University, but rather at Medical College of Ohio and through area hospitals. These stu- dents earn University credit and great experience that may be benefi- cial to their future careers. Like the health majors, students in the School of Human Movement Sport and Leisure Studies are also required to complete certain hours of practicum and internships. Jackie Cuneen, associate profes- sor for HMSLS. said that students in this department usually work closely with Bowling Green Parks and Recreation for their practicum work. Kristin Winters, recreation coor- dinator for the city's Parks and Recreation Department, assists stu- dents from the University to com- plete their requirements for gradua- tion. "We try to work these students into special events coordinating, handling leagues, day camps and sport camps," Winters said. "We try to make their work relate to what their focus is." Winters said that students' work with this city department gives them a well-rounded experience after graduation. Practicum work and internships are beneficial not only for the stu- dent but for the Parks and Recre- ation Department as well New Additions/Deletions To City "We get quality help from the students with a general base knowl- edge that are interested in doing a good job," Winters said. "We are usually under-staffed, so a a ODD with these students we are able to do more special events, more programs, \m m something we usually don't get to ID do, so that is another way this is ben- eficial for us," Winters said.
