Adjunct faculty are part-time instructors who teach courses at colleges and universities but are not full-time employees. They often hold advanced degrees and bring professional experience to the classroom. Adjuncts typically work on a contractual basis, teaching specific classes without the benefits that full-time faculty receive. These educators play a crucial role in higher education by providing specialized knowledge and flexibility in course offerings. Many adjunct faculty members teach at multiple institutions, allowing them to reach a diverse student population while contributing to the academic community. Their involvement helps institutions manage fluctuating enrollment and course demand.
