The College of Engineering has operated such a program since 1963, allowing students to alternate semesters of work with semesters of academic studies. It now includes more than 600 students. Six of Texas A&M’s colleges, in itially, will be active in the program. They are agriculture, architecture and environmental design, engi neering, liberal arts, science and veterinary medicine. Each will have a college coordinator of cooperative education. Broadening of the cooperative education concept grew out of a Placement Advisory Council rec ommendation in 1976 to then Academic Vice President Dr. John C. Calhoun Jr. A committee includ ing representatives from each col lege supported it. An $80,000 grant from the Office of Education, Department of Health, Education and Welfare, will help initiate the program along with the university’s funding commit ment. The grant was obtained through efforts of Dr. Charles Rodenberger, committee chairman. A 1965 graduate, Southerland has worked in career planning and placement with Director Louis Van Pelt since 1974. He was coordinator of educational placement services, and became associate director last year. In his nine years on the uni versity staff, Southerland has worked in student services and was assistant to the commandant of cadets for four years. He holds de grees from Texas A&M in manage ment and educational administra tion.
