Coordinators of Field Work

Coordinators of Field Work are academic appointees who are charged with the primary responsibility for the maintenance of the educational standards and effective functioning of the field work course/ practicum. Other academic duties may include serving on academic and administrative committees.

Since these appointees are not assigned responsibility for the teaching of lecture and seminar courses, their appointments are not course-based as are other Unit 18 members. Rather, Coordinators of Field Work are expected to devote their work time to helping students evaluate and secure field study assignments, locating appropriate field study assignments for students, supervising students who are on field study, assisting faculty who are supervising students on field study, contributing to course sections with regard to field study matters, maintaining appropriate records concerning placement opportunities and students, serving on academic and administrative committees, etc.
