Join us for this year's virtual Part-Time Teachers Conference: REGENERATE on Friday, March 26 with keynote speaker Flower Darby.

Part-time faculty are uniquely adept at refreshing elements of their craft to adapt to new teaching and learning contexts that demand the utmost flexibility and innovation. These skills are valuable in that they resonate with learners who are exposed to new digital tools, resources, content, and teaching approaches. In the past year, faculty have worked to rebuild as they fill the void left by the pandemic. This conference provides an opportunity for self-reflection and goal setting as we regenerate our practice in a post-COVID world.
