draft MOU from Jennifer Koys

We are looking to present this memorandum to the SSC for vote on Friday, November 12th in order to move forward quickly enough to start the program in the Spring semester.
The remaining piece needed is a formal letter of support for the program from Facilities & Services, indicating a commitment to implement cost effective recommendations and identifying who would supervise the student intern. To complete the memorandum, we will also need the names, emails, and phone numbers of the primary, secondary, and financial officer contacts.
