One of our goals as the Faculty Assemble Adjunct Committee is to create more recognition for our adjunct faculty staff. The Adjunct Spotlight is a space to celebrate hard-working adjuncts. The nominated adjunct will be recognized in the Faculty Assembly meeting and have a small blurb posted below. If you would like to nominate someone, please contact Shawna Broeder.

Second Quarter Spotlight : James Schmehl
James is an adjunct professor in the music department who goes above and beyond in supporting student success. He is a valuable resource for anything music related, both at the college and in the community. He works closely with other faculty members during productions to ensure student success.
First Quarter Spotlight : Angie McDougal
Angie McDougall has been an adjunct in the dental hygiene program for almost 4 years. She has continually volunteered her time and effort. Whenever we need a sub, Angie is always willing to help with a smile and a great attitude. This semester she is teaching her first class (Head and Neck Anatomy) and it is a HARD class, Angie has dove in headfirst, studying the book, re-doing all the slides several times until they are perfect. She has poured her heart and soul into this class and the students can feel her enthusiasm. She doesn't only make the students better, she makes all of us instructors want to be better, too. We are so lucky to have her as a teacher for the Dental Hygiene program!
