In the Education Department in the University of Maryland Global Campus (UMGC), we strive to ensure our faculty receive the teaching experiences they are diligently pursuing.
A number of important ingredients go into faculty success. Our experience is that those who participate actively are more successful in the classroom and get the most out of being a UMGC faculty member.
Training, Technology, and Support: UMGC's Center for Teaching and Learning offers a variety of professional development trainings and services.
Benefits: UMGC offers benefits for adjunct faculty and 12-month collegiate faculty.
Peer Representation: UMUC’s shared governance structure includes adjunct faculty member representation on the Adjunct Faculty Association.
We strongly encourage you to participate in our faculty training and development programs and in other UMGC activities, which can be found on our Web site. The navigation links below are useful if you have any questions or concerns about your teaching experience at UMGC.
We want you to know that we are fully committed to helping you in the classroom, whether that classroom is on-site or online.
