TCC: Follow up from 2019 adjunct survey

Thank you to all of our adjunct faculty who took time completing our feedback survey in the spring.

The Teaching and Creativity Center's adjunct committee reviewed the varied feedback from our spring survey. We found that responses were sometimes in opposite directions! While we won't be able to meet everyone's specific requests, we hope that these changes will provide more of you with accessible and worthwhile professional learning opportunities. Please stay in touch as we are here to support you as much as we can.

  1. This summer, we will be improving our website! We hope to be able to house resources from presentations that don't fit your schedule. We also plan to have an easily accessible schedule of all TCC events. We tend to share Adjunct Suppers and Kick-offs through your adjunct coordinators, but you are welcome to attend any professional development program sponsored by the TCC.
  2. We will be mindful to invite you, through your adjunct coordinators, to our annual events: the Winter Teaching Institute and the June Teaching and Learning Conference.
  3. As for the Suppers for Success, despite last year's declining numbers, we found that there was still a lot of interest in continuing them. To that end, we will continue to hold a Kick-off and 3 Suppers each semester. The Fall flyer is attached.
  4. Are you interested in taking an online course? SUNY's Center for Professional Development offers several that we recommend. Please contact your department chair to discuss your interest. The TCC will be working with departments to fund these courses. Please note that there are several new courses about diversity, equity and inclusion being offered. https://sunycpd.eventsair.com/QuickEventWebsitePortal/deicertweb/info Other courses are designed for those new to teaching and can be found here: https://sunycpd.eventsair.com/QuickEventWebsitePortal/teaching-and-learning-certificate-for-new-faculty/tlnf

    Please remember to register for our Fall Kickoff: http://qeasttrial.co1.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_57pTUGaF2Ibq2RT

    Thank you and we look forward to working with you,

    Mark Sample, Linda Carson (Adjunct Committee chairs) and Gena Merliss (Coordinator of the Teaching and Creativity Center)
