In 2006, a representative of the Tóchar Valley Rural Community Network will serve as a field faculty member as well. Rural community leaders in Ireland will also assist in designing and offering field trips, reflection sessions, and community events.

Other members of the MSU-Irish team—faculty from the Department of Community, Agriculture, Recreation and Resource Studies (Frank Fear), an MSU County Extension Director (Jan Hartough from Barry County), and graduate student (Peggy Desmond) studying community development—have contributed significantly in shaping the study abroad experience.
