UAA Human Services Advisory Committee
The Human Services (HUMS) Advisory Committee provides feedback about local, state,
and national trends, needs, and policies. It advocates for the HUMS program and assists
in developing student learning opportunities. The committee includes individuals representing
the human services field, such as field placement agencies, employing agencies, citizen
advocacy groups, alumni, current students, adjunct faculty, and other persons who
value human services.
The (CSHSE) requires an advisory council. The AAS and BHS degree programs are accredited by this national accrediting body. The Advisory Committee meets once
each semester; the faculty provide updates on new initiatives and any changes within
the program, and the advisory committee members provide feedback regarding community
needs, practicum placement opportunities, and identifies strengths of the program
and any areas where they see the need for a greater focus in the curriculum.
