Student-faculty partnerships is an innovation that is gaining traction on campuses across the country. There are few established models in this new endeavor, however.

- Suggests a range of possible levels of partnership that might be appropriate in different circumstances
- Includes helpful responses to a range of questions as well as advice from faculty, students, and administrators who have hands-on experience with partnership programs
Balancing theory, step-by-step guidelines, expert advice, and practitioner experience, this book is a comprehensive why- and how-to handbook for developing a successful student-faculty partnership program.
