Staying Connected

As administrators responsible for online teaching and learning for a 2 year technical college, we have no doubt that “quality” adjunct/part time faculty is the key to success in today’s higher education due to the fact adjuncts are doing the majority of the teaching in American universities. They allow flexible scheduling and can provide insight about professional experiences that enrich student learning experience.

We will outline the literature on adjunct faculty characteristics and share our experiences and detail the process of hiring, training, integrating, and celebrating the adjunct faculty member at our institution.
