2021 Part-Time Faculty Institute - Virtual Event

Event Dates
Deadline to Register/Application Deadline

The Academic Senate for California Community Colleges will host the 2021 Part-Time Faculty Institute February 18-19, 2021.  ***Dates subject to change***

Join us for ASCCC's fifth annual Part-time Faculty Institute on February 18-19, 2021. The Part-time Institute will host a series of workshops and panels that aim to provide professional development activities, career advice and mentorship, and networking opportunities to part-time faculty in the California community colleges. This conference will focus on driving change toward equity and unity, specifically addressing the interaction of theory and praxis that many part-time faculty members find themselves navigating alone. The 2021 conference will boost discussions, voices, and representation of adjunct faculty across the state of California, both seasoned and new, and will specifically highlight contemporary issues and delightful enigmas that adjuncts face as formerly known “freeway flyers.” Part-time faculty bring unique values and perspectives to college campuses, and this year’s institute provides a platform for an intersectional welcoming dialogue for all.

 

The event will take place in the virtual event platform Pathable. All attendees will receive an email prior to the event with a unique user login.
