Letters from the Frontline
Last updated on 12/26/2003Whilst the principal inputs to this handbook have been from adjuncts, these adjuncts have had but a small sampling of the range of experiences of all adjuncts at Baruch.
This section of the guide is aimed to make this broader set of experiences accessible to you, to help you profit from these, and to encourage you to contribute your own experiences and thereby enrich this document for others.
This section is not a complaint box. Rather it is about problems solved, opportunities seized, and those myriad tales – some large, some small – that provide us with a sense of satisfaction in what we undertake as adjuncts.
In general the format is one of
- a brief statement of the problem or opportunity you address,
- an outline of the actions taken to resolve the issue, and
- a summary statement of the results.
In other words, a short--very short--story.
Those tales of satisfaction are to remind us of why we do what we do.
Letters from the Frontline may be submitted to Dennis Slavin, Associate Provost, at dennis_slavin@baruch.cuny.edu .
