Connecting Students and Communities (CSC) Program

Posted by Melissa Streich | October 2, 2014

Connecting students and communities (CSC) program

Is your organization looking for assistance? The “Connecting Students and Communities” (CSC) program through the Center for Small Towns and the University of Minnesota Southwest Sustainable Development Partnership, provides the service of a University of Minnesota, Morris undergraduate student to help local units of government, K-12 schools, or community-based organizations in the areas of research, project administration, or other support.
Applications are for a 150 hour commitment Spring Semester 2015 (mid January – mid May). Preferences will be given to applicants who will be able to provide a financial match to help offset the cost of hiring a student and travel expenses. However, those without matching funds will be considered as well.
The application is open September 29th through October 20th, 2014. To apply on-line go to http://www.morris.umn.edu/cst/communitiesapp/.  
CST staff can assist your organization in the development of the application. If the proposal is funded, staff will also help in the coordination of activities related to the student’s involvement and help provide technical assistance related to these projects. If you have questions, need assistance, or want a paper copy of the application contact Jessica Beyer at (320) 589-6451 or jbeyer@morris.umn.edu
