What are Adjunct Faculty Resources

The term “adjunct faculty” describes a professor who is hired on a temporary basis, often to teach only a course or two for a single semester or year.

Adjuncts typically teach reduced course loads as compared to their more permanent peers. Here at PVCC we want to support our adjuncts by providing them with as many supports and resources as our full-time faculty or employees. 

We value and appreciate our adjuncts. We provide and encourage a variety of professional development opportunities. As you explore this site you will find many resources to get you started on the right path.

"Education is the most powerful weapon, which you can use to change the world." - Nelson Mandel
