Meeting Dates and Times

On behalf of the Adjunct Faculty Association leadership team, a few important items to highlight as the semester winds down .

1. Division Meetings: The May division meetings have been cancelled as they conflict with graduation.  Most April meetings were rescheduled to April 29th.  If you opted for the meeting commitment package, the May meeting counts as a meeting attended as per our contract.  All adjunct faculty are welcome and encouraged to attend department and division meetings, but unless you commit to attending 6 out of 9, you are NOT required to attend anything, except the beginning of the semester department meetings.  

2. End of the Semester Happy Hour: Thursday, May 9th, 4-6pm, Grandpa’s Place in Glenview.  AFA will cover the cost for snacks and soft drinks.  Come celebrate spring and the semester winding down.  RSVP afaoakton@gmail.com

3. Survey: Please take some time to fill out the Community College Faculty Survey of Student Engagement and encourage your students to do the same. The results will be used to promote institutional improvement.  You can learn more about the survey here.

4. Change in Mode Procedures: If you are qualified to teach online and a short term emergency arises and you want to change the modality of instruction (for example, move a face to face class to an online synchronous class), the college has adopted a new policy and procedure.  You can find more details here.  Let us know if you have any questions or concerns.

5. Open Office Hours: Thursday, April 18th via Zoom 4-5pm.  Drop by and share any concerns that you might have with your AFA leadership.

Happy grading!
