EAC to host an Adjunct Faculty Fair

Come visit with us about what you would like to teach

By Kris McBride

THATCHER — Anyone interested in teaching at Eastern Arizona College is invited to attend an Adjunct Faculty Fair on Jan. 28, from 6 to 8 p.m. at EAC’s Activities Center.

“We are looking for part-time faculty to teach a wide variety of academic, technical, and personal interest courses,” stated Dr. Janice Lawhorn, EAC dean of curriculum and instruction. “We want to hear the public’s ideas about what they want to teach, and the sky’s the limit!”

At the fair, attendees will meet with instructors and administrators about what they would like to teach. One-page interest surveys will be available for interested parties to indicate what types of classes they would like to teach and the times they can teach them. Adjunct (part-time) faculty qualifications vary depending on the subject matter taught, and information will be available about qualifications for specific classes.

“EAC is looking for more instructors to help expand our program offerings so we can change more student lives,” said Lawhorn. “Come visit with our staff about your qualifications and how you can become part of our team.”

EAC currently employs more than 100 adjunct faculty that teach subjects ranging from drafting to welding and from CrossFit to taxidermy.
