The Adjunct Files
Adjunct faculty are a growing majority in higher education, shaping student experiences while navigating the challenges of contingent employment. As adjuncts at a regional public university, we know firsthand the realities, rewards, and roadblocks that come with the role. That’s why we’re here—to boost your mood and pedagogy with insightful dialogues on current challenges, practical strategies, and pathways forward for you and your students.
The Adjunct Files
On the Fast Track - from Adjunct to Full Time
Tyler Gibson, Instructor in the Department of Communication and Philosophy, shares his story about the quick road from masters graduate to adjunct instructor to full time instructor with Maggie and John. Along the way he shares insights into how someone can quickly get prepared once hired (ask for help) and what ways universities might improve their support.
