(12/17/19) Adjuncts approved to attend PA Days

A note from LCC’s Provost, Dr. Sally Welch:

“Please know that we value all faculty at LCC and try to do the best we can to support faculty inside and outside of the classroom.  In a discussion with the union representatives, we have determined that adjuncts can be paid for both days of the January Professional Activities Days.  However, if an adjunct wishes to attend they must get preapproval from their Associate Dean or Director.  To get an accurate count to ensure we have enough food for the event, we ask that adjuncts please request approval by the close of business on January 2nd.”
