Extensive communication and collaboration with students, agency personnel, practicum instructors, community partners, practicum liaisons, faculty, and 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. Actual assignments may vary based on enrollment trends, staffing levels, student needs, program priorities, accreditation requirements, and operational demands of the Practicum Office. 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.
