ASU Psychology Department Responsibilities

1997-present
Internship Supervisor for Psychology Undergraduates

Responsible for the development of an Internship program for undergraduate Psychology majors and for oversight of their Internship experiences. The Internship experience is an intensive, action research project, conducted independently by interns, in a community organization. Interns must use psychological principles, concepts, and methods in these applied settings to answer questions which are important to both the student and the organization. It is not just volunteer work. Consequently, Interns must be reliable, intelligent, resourceful, and be able to work independently. Therefore, I require that students apply to the Internship Program. They are admitted based on their GPAs (minimum 3.2), statements of purpose, writing samples, faculty recommendations and screening interviews. Generally, 30 students apply and I admit a maximum of 3. My interns have all been hired before or upon graduation at an average of 30% higher salary than their peers.

1995-2004
Supervisor of Undergraduate Psychology Career Counseling Program

Responsible for the design, implementation, oversight and evaluation of this program. It was designed to: Help students succeed in selecting suitable coursework and areas of emphasis in their curricula; recommend possible future careers matched to the students career-relevant interests, temperaments, skills and aptitudes; recommend courses and activities to students in order to increase their career readiness and competitive edge in academic and non-academic job markets. Student ratings of satisfaction with the program average 9.0 on a 10 point scale and their GPAs increase significantly in the semester and year after the counseling session, compared to their peers. This program was terminated in Fall 2004. Its functions have been transferred to and more fully incorporated in a new, one credit hour course piloted in Fall 2004 [PGS 294/394 - Psychology of Careers].
