Adjunct faculty play a critical role and are essential to the delivery of high-quality academic programming, and help to achieve the first goal of the Blueprint for Success strategic plan – Student Access and Student Success.
The purpose of the annual Adjunct of the Year Award is to honor adjunct faculty members the university who are demonstrating excellence in teaching. The Adjunct of the Year is selected by their peers, and the selection committee receives supporting input from the nominees’ colleagues and students in testament to their good work as educators.
The Office of the Provost is pleased to announce that the committee has selected William Kilborn and Bridger Landle as this year’s recipients.
Kilborn and Landle work together as a team in the Department of Philosophy to teach online classes. Their classes are highly ranked in assessments and have inspired numerous students to pursue philosophy as a discipline. They are dedicated academics, and have helped make it possible for the department to offer core requirement classes over the summer by establishing online courses in those required subjects.
