When departments support adjunct faculty 和 help them more quickly become acclimated to our 大学, student success will also grow.
凯瑟琳>》, Associate Director of the Office for Faculty Excellence, 艾莉·埃斯波西托, Assistant Dean of the Feliciano School of Business, 创建了 Adjunct Faculty Guide for Department Chairs (updated for 2024). In their collaboration 和 through a survey of adjunct faculty, they have identified the information that adjunct faculty most frequently request.
It would be helpful if each department had their own guide. If you don’t have one already, please feel free to use 我们的 as a first draft to create your own (opens as a Google doc).
This resource is part of OFE’s 360 Degree Support for Adjuncts initiative which seeks to connect adjuncts with the information 和 support they need, helping them to feel like the essential members of the 十大博彩推荐排名州立 大学 community that they are.
