The Adjunct Instructor Pools are for applicants who are interested in teaching in the future as a part‑time adjunct instructor for one of our departments.

Should a part‑time instructional need arise in a given department, the department chair will look first at the approved applicants to see if anyone matches our needs, in which case they may make contact to schedule an interview.
