The specific balance of responsibilities may vary from year to year based on program needs. Extensive communication and collaboration with students, community partner personnel, practicum instructors, practicum liaisons, and other School staff are essential functions of this position.
Assignment Flexibility The percentages assigned to each responsibility area are estimates intended to describe the general scope of the position.

Duties may be reassigned or redistributed by the Director of Practicum Education as needed to support the mission and functioning of the School of Social Welfare.
