SSLP_2015

MID-MAY THROUGH AUGUST
CLUBS - HOSTING IN THE SUMMER
The Club Contact Person maintains communication with the SSLP student(s), confirming arrangements for their
arrival, offering a welcome orientation when they arrive, and meeting with them every two weeks during the
SSLP. Our hope is for Club members to discuss issues of social concern with the students and visit the student
at the site. Clubs also send the scholarship check to the Center for Social Concerns by July 1.
SITES
Site supervisors are integral in the service-learning pedagogy. Students learn from relationships and discussions
at the site and hopefully contribute toward the mission and work of the site, too. Students need an orientation
to the site so that they understand the mission of the organization as well as their specific responsibilities.
During the summer students need regular check-in times with their supervisor. If a problem arises, supervisors
communicate the concern to the Notre Dame Club contact person and the SSLP office.
STUDENTS
Students are expected to maintain an attitude of service during the eight weeks of working with the site as well as
while living with families or in community at the site. For the eight weeks, students need to keep the expectations
of the site, Notre Dame Club events and the readings and writing for the course as their top priorities. All other
activities in their life are second priority.

SITES
Sites complete the electronic evaluation form at the end of the summer.
STUDENTS - RETURNING TO CAMPUS:
Students submit their final paper to the Center for Social Concerns and send a copy to their Notre Dame Club
contact person and their site supervisor. SSLP staff and graduate student assistants meet with the students
for individual debriefing meetings as well as the small group discussions of the course. All students are
encouraged to continue the learning of the SSLP by getting involved in the local community, taking relevant
courses, or doing research related to the work of their site.
