The Adjunct Faculty Learning Community
While all faculty and staff are welcome at all TLC events, there is a program geared specifically for adjunct faculty. Typically, the Adjunct Faculty Learning Community (or Adjunct FLC) gathers adjuncts from across the college, engaging in ongoing discussion and professional learning. The TLC's goal is to convene the group several times during each quarter to address topics unique to contingent faculty. Both new and returning adjunct faculty are invited to participate, and dates for the meetings are sent out with the weekly email. For more information, contact the group’s facilitators, Kristen Browning and Lena Lopez Schindler.
Stipends
Thanks to college support, currently-employed adjunct faculty participation at TLC-sponsored events is supported with stipends. Adjunct faculty earn a maximum quarterly stipend up to $500 for attending TLC programming. This allows for paid participation in about ten TLC events, compensated at $50/event for events lasting an hour or more, $15 or $30 for shorter events. All adjunct faculty attending TLC events will be reviewed for eligibility and contacted if they do not qualify.
To receive stipends, all faculty need to do is sign in, login, or make sure that your name is visible at each event - both in person and Zoom attendance are eligible for stipends. Stipends are paid at the end of the quarter, and the coordinator will contact all individuals eligible for stipends to confirm the amount near the end of the quarter. If you believe you qualify and have not received confirmation by the last day of classes, please reach out to the TLC coordinator: angela.rasmussen@scc.spokane.edu.
