What is the role of my faculty field liaison?

The Faculty Liaison is a representative of the university who will approve the Learning Plan Agreement/Comprehensive Skills Evaluation for the student, hold regularly scheduled conferences with both the student and Field Instructor, facilitate the Integrative Field Seminar, evaluate the student’s learning, and assign a grade of credit/no credit. The Faculty Liaison visits the agencies, maintains ongoing communication with the Field Instructor and participates in student and Field Instructor orientations, seminars and other field meetings. The Faculty Liaison reports on student progress to the Director of Field Education and coordinates individual student education issues between the School of Social Work and the field instruction agency.
