Adjunct Faculty Professional Development Program

The Adjunct Faculty Professional Development Program assists adjunct and part-time instructors with their acclimation to the college community. This is accomplished through workshops, pedagogical discussions, and social events. Topics include course outline and curricular development, teaching strategies, and an introduction to college policies and procedures. 

Scroll for details about events. Recordings of past events are available at the bottom of this page, too.
