Become a Community Partner!
The MUSLP invites faculty feedback. If you are interested in becoming involved with
the MUSLP or would like to learn more about service learning opportunities please
don't hesitate to create a free Community Partner account with us at the Service
Learning Program. The Sign Up Form
will allow you to create your specific username and password as fill out your Community
Partner Profile. The information in your profile will help us match you up with
SL faculty and courses that can work with you for semester long projects.
For Community Organizations, maintaining successful partnerships with faculty and
monitoring your student volunteers during their service hours can be time consuming--particularly
if you have a small staff or are working with multiple courses during a semester.
To facilitate some of these logistical tasks, MUSLP offers the following community
liaison services to faculty:
- weekly/monthly calls to verify student participation and reliability
- site visits in order to link up potential faculty partners during their course development
- delivery of partnership documents
What we don't do:
- direct service projects for students on site
- develop Service Learning activities for students
Ensure the long-term viability of yoru partnerships and stay on top of student progress
by requesting community liasion services. Email
