Edison State
Adjunct Faculty Honored at Banquet
Eighteen employees were recognized for instructing a combined total of
5,275 hours or approximately 1,758 classes in their careers at Edison
State Community College’s annual adjunct faculty recognition banquet on
Wednesday, August 24.
Dr. Paul Heintz, Interim Vice President of Academic Affairs, served as
the event’s Master of Ceremonies, Dr. Doreen Larson provided a
President’s Welcome and presented honorees with gifts, and Chris
Spradlin, Provost, delivered a keynote address.
“When you spark students’ interests and inspire them, you change their
lives. You also improve the lives of their families and future
families. The work you do is so very important, and we can’t thank you
enough,” said Edison State President, Dr. Doreen Larson to those being
honored.
When it came time to honor Kathy Clifton, who has taught over one
thousand hours or 33 years in her career, the audience cheered.
Students in Clifton’s classes provided positive comments about their
experience with her.
“Professor Clifton is spectacular at teaching this course and relating
it to modern-day examples,” said a student. “I have two sons that are
preparing to come to Edison State from the Troy High School College
Credit Plus program, and I hope they have the type of classroom
experience that I did.”
“Wow! I don’t believe I have ever had an instructor who had such a
commanding knowledge of the subject matter they were teaching. I feel
she could teach at any university in the country,” stated another
student.
Adjunct faculty hours accrue by the number of credit hours in each
class taught. Typically, each class taught is worth three credit hours.
