Benefits and opportunities for adjunct faculty
Adjuncts who teach at MVCC receive exciting and valuable benefits, most of which are offered at no additional cost.
Professional development opportunities
Workshops, seminars, and training sessions are offered throughout the academic year to all faculty and staff. Adjuncts are encouraged to attend as many of these professional training and development days as their time permits. Nearly all of these programs contain programming designed with adjunct faculty in mind. Opportunities include:
- College-wide Institutes in August and May
- Adjunct Welcome in August
- Center for Inclusive Teaching Excellence
College committee and governance opportunities
Adjuncts have a voice at MVCC. Adjuncts may stand for election to College Senate, serve on design teams and in work groups, and volunteer for committee assignments that explore and make recommendations about important College issues.
Other benefits
Through Human Resources, adjuncts have access to the following:
- Employee Assistance Program, available free of charge to all adjuncts
- Direct Deposit and Automated Payroll Processing (no additional charge)
