Adjunct Faculty Convocation

On Tuesday evening of Fall Convocation Week, the Continuing Education Division, in collaboration with the Academic Division, hosted its annual Adjunct Faculty Convocation. Adjunct faculty heard welcoming comments from Mary Clare O'Connor, President Basil, and Dean Baker. They then heard specific details about Student Services from Assistant Dean Martha Asselin and about Library Services from Carrie Laier, Librarian.

The primary presentation for the evening was made by Steve McIntosh, Coordinator of the Instructional Technology Center, who introduced adjunct faculty to the College's Angel course management system. At the end of the presentation, 24 of the participants moved to a computer classroom and stayed an additional 90 minutes to actually develop Angel web pages for their own courses during a hands-on workshop conducted by Mr. McIntosh and Michael Dzikowski, Technical Assistant from Academic Computing.

Congratulations to all for a very productive workshop! The percentage of evening adjunct faculty utilizing Angel as a classroom management tool now exceeds 30%!
