• Elected Official: Helpful to have a public-facing champion to talk about project at community events.
• University: University contact must be laying groundwork early; hold faculty accountable
Step Two: Identify Topic Areas
Step Three: Expand Topics into Courses
Step Four: Develop Course Specific Scope of Work
• Communication and connections between City Staff and Faculty are critical.
– Meet early and often.
– Align goals.
– Agree on specifics (deliverables, presentations, etc.)
• Formal Scope of Work highly recommended
- Consistent for all courses

Initial Speed Bumps (Lessons Learned)
• City and University are often operating in different worlds. Communication is KEY.
• Course faculty could over promise and under deliver.– Early communication & scope of work important.
• Scopes of work may be scaled back.• Presentation and deliverable timelines need to be
planned well ahead of time.• Established capstone, graduate level, or existing
service learning classes may be a best fit for pilot communities.
Recommendations for Pilot Partner
• Include ample prep time ahead of the academic year
• Stress the use of formal scopes of work
• Must manage & understand expectations for community
• Establish check-ins with faculty directly or through your University Contact
• City Staff need to work with the University Lead to balance communication.
