=Using Learning Centers to Engage Adjunct Faculty: We Have an App for That!=

Workshop themes: Adult learning, class management, student engagement, first year experience, and administration
Engaging adjunct faculty in the college community, encouraging involvement and professional growth, and keeping strong ties between full-time faculty and adjuncts is an ongoing challenge and one that has direct impact in the classroom. Using and expanding the role of a campus learning center may help meet that challenge. Learning Centers can serve as “information central” and enhance the flow of communication among departments, the College, and adjuncts. They can also provide professional development and training, work opportunities, and technology support. As an adjunct, are you familiar with your campus learning centers?

Do you know what resources and opportunities they provide for students, and possibly for you? As an administrator, have you thought about how to use your learning centers to better engage your adjuncts, and therefore better serve your students? Anyone who works in any capacity with a learning center will be most welcome and will serve as our resident expert! We will present several ideas that are in place now and work with you to brainstorm some possibilities that may help you. Come prepared to be actively involved! The presenters are all affiliated with the same learning center but in much different roles: one is a manager, one is an adjunct faculty tutor, and one is a former staff tutor and tutor trainer. We welcome the opportunity to learn from you!
