For faculty, maintaining successful
partnerships with community agencies and monitoring your
students during their service hours can be time consuming. To
facilitate some of these logistical tasks, MUSLP offers
community liaison services to faculty. You may request 1)
weekly/monthly calls to verify student participation and
excellence, 2) site visits and research in order to locate potential community
partners, or 3) delivery of partnership documents, among other
things. Ensure the long-term viability of your partnerships and
stay on top of student progress by requesting community liaison
services.
