Community Liaison Services (Email us at srvlearn@marshall.edu)

For faculty, maintaining successful partnerships with community agencies and monitoring your students during their service hours can be time consuming--particularly if you are working with multiple community partners for a single course. To facilitate some of these logistical tasks, MUSLP offers the following community liaison services to faculty:

• weekly/monthly calls to community partners to verify student participation and reliability
• site visits in order to locate potential community partners during course development
• delivery of partnership documents

What we don't do:

• create service assignments for students
• develop Service Learning courses for faculty

Ensure the long-term viability of your partnerships and stay on top of student progress by requesting community liaison services. Email us
