Adjunct Faculty Support and Development

The Office of Adjunct Faculty Support and Development was initiated in 1999 in recognition of the important role that part-time instructors play at Atlantic Cape Community College.  More than 230 instructors are part of the adjunct faculty, teaching in all disciplines and at all campuses.  ACCC is committed to providing the resources and support needed to enable the part-time instructors to do their job well and be a part of the ACCC community.

Among the functions of the office is providing assistance for non-content issues, serving as liaison between the instructors and other areas of the college, providing orientation to the role of part-time faculty and to the policies and procedures of the institution, delivering professional development workshops, publishing the Adjunct Handbook and the Adjunct Update, a newsletter published three times per semester, and coordinating the annual formative evaluation process.
