Spotlight on Adjunct Faculty Each semester approximately 4400 adjunct faculty join together with approximately 1100 residential faculty to teach over 100,000 students in the Maricopa Community College District. In an effort to be more inclusive and responsive to adjunct faculty needs, the MCLI has made expanding support of their professional development a major goal this year. Therefore, this issue of the Forum/Labyrinth/Assidere salutes Maricopa's adjunct faculty as a reminder to all of us of the importance of their role and of their faculty development needs. I encourage you to read these articles and listen to the common themes that emerge in the writing. As you read, you will hear many voices and perspectives, all reminding us that we can always do more to help our adjunct faculty to be better oriented, integrated, and included at every level of the educational process.
