Career shadowing takes place during May term and allows students to be matched with a professional or career person of their choice for any field or major, said Kathy Moran, job developer and coor-dinator for cooperative education and place- - ment Students who register for INTR 350 by March 6 will submit a list of two professionals or career persons they wish to shadow. At the end of April, both the student and the professional are notified by mail. During May, the student will shadow the professional for 20 hours minimum and receive one hour of college credit. Career shadowing is opportunity to ask, observe and gather information about any given profession, said Moran. Students can register for this as many times as they wish. Full-tim- e students in the fall or spring receive four free credit hours in May term. Students taking the g class are entitled to use one of their free hours. The Career Center has a list of approximately 1 50 professionals who have participated in the program in the past, including veterinarians, lawyers, media buyers, retail managers and teachers. The professionals are cooperative and enjoy the opportunity to have an impact on the students lives, said Moran. Italso gives the professionals the chance to validate to themselves why they chose that profession. Internships follow in the same lines as career shadowing except the students actually do the work and sometimes getpaid for it, said Moran. Also, students can do internships for up to eight hours a semester. Kirsten Heaton, senior in communications, completed an internship for the Utah Audubon Society, a environmental organization. My internship anon-threateni- career-shadowin- well-establish- ed To was a lot of work 40 hours a week for eight hours of credit, but it was worth it, said Heaton. It allowed me to take charge, editing and lay ing out a local Moab magazine." Aside from completing bird lists, Heaton also attended the dedication of the wetlands preserve in Moab last June with Utah Audubon President Pat Briggs. The Nature Conservancy dedicated the land to Gov. Scott Matheson because of his great belief in the preservation of natural habitat and Utah, said Heaton. Norma Matheson, Idaho Gov. Cecil Andrus and Wallace Stegner, a leading environmental author also attended the event.
