Jean Keller Office Location & Hours PEB Room 205K – 940-565-3427 After class; Friday 2-4:30pm; – Appointments welcomed I. Recreation, Event, and Sport Management Internship: The Recreation, Event, and Sport Management (RESM) internship course (RESM 4100) is offered for 12-credit hours. The term "internship" refers to a supervised educational experience in a work related setting which has a recreation, sport, leisure service, fitness, or special event focus where students may apply their academic knowledge. Since this experience constitutes a substantial amount of the student's academic preparation, it is considered a vital pre-professional experience of the RESM Program. The student, agency, and university are in partnership in this experiential learning opportunity. The internship is a cooperative arrangement between the educational institution and a pre-approved organization. The student obtains pre-professional administrative, supervisory, and leadership experience of a practical nature under the supervision of qualified, credentialed and experienced personnel from both the agency and the university. The opportunity to engage in the practical application of theories, concepts, and standards learned in the classroom is afforded each student through the internship. It is through the internship that the student comes to realize his/her level of skills, knowledge, professional stature, and professional goals. Some students may choose to immediately pursue a career in parks, recreation, sport, or leisure services and seek full time employment, while others may feel they need more information before making career decisions. Whatever the choice, the individual will have matured through his/her involvement in the internship. II. Purpose: The basic purpose of the internship is to provide a planned transition from the university curriculum to a professional recreation, event, sport, or leisure services setting. In the internship experience the student will test the practical application of concepts and theories of recreation, event, sport, or leisure services and practices under the guidance and supervision of an agency professional and a university faculty member. As part of the internship experience, students are evaluated by their agency supervisors and their university supervisors. In addition, students continually reviews their own knowledge, skills, and professional growth as they apply to entry into the profession of recreation, event, sport, or leisure services.
