Adjunct Faculty
Adjunct Faculty Resources
Adjunct faculty play a vital role in advancing Messiah University’s mission to educate students toward maturity of intellect, character, and Christian faith. As you prepare for and develop your teaching, we invite you to explore the following resources designed to support your success.
A range of information for adjunct faculty is available through the Provost’s Office website. These materials offer an overview of Messiah University’s Christ-centered mission, along with essential information to support your role as an adjunct educator.
The Office of Faculty Development provides resources and opportunities to support your teaching and professional growth:
Faculty Support and Resources (Canvas Site)
The Office of Faculty Development maintains a Faculty Support and Resources site in our Canvas LMS, which includes practical guidance for course design and teaching at Messiah University. All teaching faculty, including full-time and adjunct faculty, are automatically enrolled each semester. If you have any issues accessing this site, please contact techsupport@messiah.edu.
Professional Development Opportunities
Adjunct faculty are welcome to participate in a number of programs sponsored by the Office of Faculty Development, including Teaching and Learning Workshops and cohort-based Professional Learning Opportunities. If you have interest or questions about professional development opportunities, please contact facdev@messiah.edu.
For questions related to your specific course(s) - such as learning objectives, course expectations, or prior syllabi - please connect directly with your department chair or program director.
