Become an adjunct faculty member at a top 100 university and play a pivotal role in shaping the emerging practitioners in your field!
The University of Denver is a top-ranked private university that is dedicated to the public good. The institution provides hands-on learning experiences and is committed to a four-dimensional student experience based on exploring character, pursuing careers and lives of purpose, advancing intellectual growth, and promoting well-being. The University of Denver deeply values inclusive excellence, recognizing that its success is dependent on how well it values, engages, and includes the rich diversity of constituents (to learn more about inclusive excellence at the University of Denver, please visit http://www.du.edu/cme/resources/inclusive-excellence.html).
The University of Denver's college of continuing and professional studies, University College, is the largest graduate school at the University of Denver and a leader in adult education, providing meaningful and affordable educational experiences specifically designed for busy adults. Nearly 25 years ago, University College launched online programming at the University of Denver. Since then, technology and education have evolved. What remains the same is our commitment to delivering a personalized student experience through small class sizes, practitioner faculty, and dedicated academic advisors. Highly flexible and affordable, a University of Denver education through University College provides career-focused content that can be immediately applied on the job.
University College fosters a learning culture where questions are expected, information and wisdom are shared, and community members respectfully challenge each other's perspectives and engage in personal reflection. We celebrate our successes, measure our progress, and realize our goals through collective action. We strive to be culturally aware of our behaviors, aim to ignite continuous growth within each individual, and seek to enhance our impact on students, alumni, faculty, staff, and the greater community.
University College seeks adjunct instructors to join our teaching pool who will advance our commitment to inclusive excellence and will align with University Colleges core values: honor the individual, champion learning, transform lives, work together, and pursue excellence. We also value transparency. The interview process for this role will include an application process, discussion of our teaching expectations and diverse perspective, and an overview of the instructor journey.
Once an adjunct instructor is recruited and hired into the pool, they can expect a comprehensive onboarding process and ongoing professional development opportunities to enhance teaching practice. A teaching preference survey is distributed bi-annually to determine interest and availability, and invitations to teach are sent bi-annually. Our 10-week courses are offered in multiple formats, including asynchronous online, synchronous online, or hybrid (50% on campus and 50% online). University College uses Canvas, a best-in-class learning management system (LMS), for all course delivery modes. Instructors will receive a designed course container and will be expected to manage and engage in the course while infusing real-world examples into the curriculum and offering a diversity of perspectives as presented through materials, resources, authors/readings, and speakers if applicable. Course enrollment is typically capped at 20 learners per course section.
