Department Meetings

Department Meetings

For full-time faculty, attending department meetings is a professional responsibility and does not count as professional development. Adjunct faculty are encouraged but not required to attend. Adjunct faculty are paid for department meeting attendance. 

Voting Representatives (Adjunct)

The Composition & Literary Studies Department may have adjunct voting representatives equal to the number of full-time faculty. Adjunct faculty interested in serving as voting representatives can submit their names in the Spring semester when a call for interested candidates is announced.  You can access the current voting adjuncts here: https://sites.austincc.edu/english/faculty/.
