?Last semester I requested that you submit your fall 2018 and spring 2019 teaching preferences to me by the start of this semester. I plan to finalize next AY schedule before the end of this month. If you do not submit any preferences to me this week I will interpret this to mean that you have no preference. Thank you.

by Colleen Cool 25 Jan '18

25 Jan '18

Dear adjunct faculty, Please see the message below about your important participation in the QC survey of adjunct teaching faculty. The Adjunct Teaching Task Force is asking just a few minutes of your time to complete a survey about your experiences as an adjunct faculty member. This is an opportunity to be heard and is much appreciated. Colleen Colleen Cool, MLS, PhD Professor and Chair GSLIS Rosenthal 254 Queens College/CUNY 65-30 Kissena Blvd. Flushing, N.Y. 11367 (718) 997-3790 ________________________________ From: Rowena Li Sent: Wednesday, January 24, 2018 10:34 PM To: Rowena Li Cc: Michelle Fraboni Subject: QC Adjunct Experience Survey - needs your help ?Dear Department Chairpersons, Happy Spring semester! I am writing to ask you for your help. The Adjunct Teaching Task Force sent out a campus-wide announcement at the beginning of January, asking every teaching adjunct to fill out QC Adjunct Experience Survey for the purpose of updating the Adjunct Handbook and formulating recommendations to the Provost. Some of the adjuncts might not use QC emails for their daily communications or they might missed this announcement. At department level, you and your secretary might know better how to reach them via their preferred emails. Would it be possible to forward this announcement to all the teaching adjuncts in your department? Thank you so much for your help!
