Adjunct instructors honored for teaching excellence
May 3, 2019
Recognizing their excellence in teaching, eight adjunct instructors were awarded Regents’
Adjunct Awards. The Award is a new honor that was established as part of the United
Academic-Adjuncts collective bargaining agreement. Adjunct faculty members are nominated
for the award by the students and peers of their home campus. A selection committee
evaluates the nominations and a recommendation is made by their Provost. One faculty
member per semester may be selected to receive the University of è Regents’ Adjunct
Faculty award and receives a lump-sum of $1,500.
“Our team of adjunct professors are essential to the University of è,” said Dr. Paul W. Layer, Vice President for Academics, Students & Research. “Adjunct professors are experts in their field who teach a class because they want to share their passion and expertise with students. The Regents Adjunct Award is one way that the University of è shows its appreciation for the role of our adjunct professors in our mission to inspire learning.”
