HPJ will conduct a two-year prison management certificate program for prison administrators from Saudi Arabia that will begin this summer.
The Department will offer 30 prison management professionals, who already have bachelor’s degrees and training, the opportunity to study the English language and criminal justice in Ohio Northern University’s Department of History, Politics and Justice.
These professionals will come to ONU to study corrections and prison management to learn about and experience “best practices” in the United States and prepare them to provide leadership in reforming their own system when they return to Saudi Arabia. While at ONU, the students will have formal course work and practical experience opportunities, weekend seminars and many onsite visits with professionals in the field. The program will include
an internship, and they will also have the opportunity to study at The Washington Center.
ONU Prepares Prison Management Program for Saudi Arabian Students ONU will hire additional ESL instructors, an assistant program coordinator and an interpreter. Many of the visiting professionals will live in campus apartments or in University housing off-campus.
Prior to the arrival of the Saudi students, Michael Wilhelm, the director of the Office of International students and Scholars at West Virginia University, will visit ONU and Ada May 21-22 to meet with all involved in the program as well as the community. There will be four information sessions open to the community. Individuals interested in the program or anyone who has questions about the impact of the students and families are encouraged to attend.
