Part-Time Faculty Commons

The Part-Time Faculty Commons is a one-stop resource center designed to promote student-to-instructor interaction and provide instructional support for part-time faculty. Offering a variety of spaces and services, the “Commons” is dedicated to the support of our part-time instructors.  Some of its most popular amenities include copy machines, a computer lab, and individual workspaces.

Within the Commons, part-time instructors consult with students, prepare for class at computerized workstations, and access copying and word processing services. The Commons provides an inviting atmosphere and gathering place for part-time faculty to consult with colleagues on instructional matters and access resources on effective teaching and learning practices. It also serves as the Teaching and Learning Center communication hub for the entire campus.

It is conveniently located on the first floor of the Crane Liberal Arts and Sciences Building.
