We have made a conscious effort to integrate adjunct faculty with full-time faculty and the broader University community. Higher education relies on qualified part-time instructors that bring real-world practice to the classroom. In this session, we will present our methods to advance and engage our adjunct faculty, developing them into participating faculty pursuant to AACSB standards. We will also highlight ways in which our adjunct faculty have connected with adult learners to create a learning environment conducive to open dialogue and real-world application. We invite participants to share techniques to create a repository of best practices.
