This is a hands-on, heads-engaged educational experience.
The Duffy Partnerships give students both a macro and micro understanding of how institutions interact within society. At each site, students gain an overview of the organization's culture, goals, structure, resources, and strategies, then focus on a specific project within the organization. During the weekly seminar on campus they broaden their focus to examine how the various institutions intersect.

Each student works with a Faculty Partner, in addition to Sociology faculty member and Partnerships Coordinator, Carol Wickersham. This allows students access to interdisciplinary perspectives and expertise. The faculty and community partners also share perspectives about the issues and efforts at each site and the implications for the community.
