Daylong Agenda Helps Prepare Part-Time Faculty for Year Ahead

An Adjunct Professional Development Day was held on campus Saturday, schooling part-time Penn College faculty on a variety of topics as they near the start of the 2016-17 academic year. Keynote speakers for the event were William E. Ebersole, an FBI special agent and part-time accounting instructor, and Penn College Police Chief Chris E. Miller, who discussed, "Active Shooters – Before They Strike – Prevention and Preparation." Additional subjects broached by faculty and staff in Madigan Library and the Bush Campus Center included media in the classroom; creation of accessible documents using Microsoft Word, Excel and PowerPoint; the privacy of student records; and academic dishonesty. The day's program was organized by Tom Gregory, associate vice president for instruction, and the college's Professional Development Office.
