Northwest Vista College Adjunct Senate

NVC adjunct faculty comprise about 64% of the faculty teaching force. Two former adjunct faculty members founded the NVC Adjunct Senate in 2018 to highlight adjunct voices and provide a forum through which adjunct faculty concerns could inform recommendations to college and district bodies.

Our Specific Goals are to:

  • Increase the visibility and participation of the NVC adjunct faculty in the college community.
  • Encourage activities which support adjunct faculty interaction.
  • Promote professional development and interaction with the full time faculty.
  • Provide a voice for adjunct faculty on issues affecting the community of students, faculty, administration, and classified staff.
  • Pursue fair, equitable working conditions and pay for adjunct faculty.

Who Can Join?

All part-time and full-time adjunct faculty and Continuing Education adjunct faculty employed at Northwest Vista College are invited to become members of the Adjunct Senate.

How to Join

  • The Adjunct Senate meets the third Monday of each month during long semesters via Zoom at 6:00pm.
