MVNU has engaged CCTECC to assist with this particular placement. CCTECC is responsible for vetting the placement and conducting an orientation for participants. Unlike other off-campus travel, MVNU plays very little role in such placements. What this means, therefore, is that trip participants accept complete responsibility for (1) travel arrangements to/from the placement location, (2) living arrangements at the placement location, and (3) Emergency Protocols (see attached).</p><p>No less than two weeks prior to departure, you are required to provide me with these items: (1) travel arrangements to/from the placement location, (2) living arrangements at the placement location, (3) a completed Assumption of Risk/Release Form, (4) a completed Medical Release/History Form, (5) Emergency Contact information, and (6) a copy of your Passport. If this information is not forthcoming, you will not be allowed to participate in this experience.</p><p>If you have any questions, feel free to contact me. I trust that this will be a fruitful learning experience.</p>
