A literature review on USR and semi-structured interviews were conducted with six participants from the selected careers.The results show that there are linkage practices organized into curricular and extracurricular. The latter allow students to interact with the community, advised by the Learning and Service (LS) area, and each career develops specific activities according to its academic focus.
