ADJUNCT
FACULTY ORIENTATION NOW AVAILABLE ON VIDEO
If you missed the Spring 2003 Adjunct
Faculty Orientations, I would highly recommend that you invest a couple
of hours of your time and watch the video that was made of the first Orientation.
There are several copies available for checkout at the Library Media Center
(the checkout counter is located in the north-east area of the library).
Do yourself a favor and check one of these out, pop up some popcorn, and
then sit back and relax while you see and hear from the Directors and Deans
of the various departmental areas on campus. You'll be surprised
how much you will learn from these informative sessions ... I promise!
GCC ADJUNCT
FACULTY COUNCIL
The concept of a local adjunct council,
which will "strive to improve the quality of life for adjunct faculty at
GCC and throughout MCCCD," is slowly becoming a reality. Several
adjuncts have indicated their interest in serving on the council or in
helping out in other ways. Diana Abel and Chuck Jeffery have volunteered
to represent the residential faculty and the Administration, respectively,
on the Council. There will be more about this in future issues as
the goals and structure of the GCC AFC gradually materialize.
SPRING HAS
SPRUNG AND SUMMER IS ALMOST HERE
I hope that the Spring 2003 semester
was a successful one for everyone. Those of you that will be returning
to teach either of the summer semesters, look for the Summer 2003 issues
of Postcards from the Adjunct to stay informed and up-to-date on what's
going on around GCC and the District. If you are not teaching this
summer, then I hope you will have an enjoyable break and I look forward
to seeing you back here next Fall.
