The co-chairs of the Treasure Valley Adjunct Conference (TVAC) are issuing a Call for Proposals for this peer-reviewed conference spotlighting adjunct faculty. This year's conference will take place on May 14th, 2020 from 10 AM - 3 PM on the campus of Boise State.

This year’s theme is “The Expert Adjunct: Sharing our Experiences.” We invite adjunct faculty to submit any proposal that highlights the quality of adjunct faculty scholarship and use of effective teaching practices, and encourage presenters to frame their sessions around lessons learned/knowledge gained through the experience of adjunct faculty work. Through this lens, we hope to provide a place to learn from, collaborate with and create community among adjunct faculty in our region.

Anyone teaching for a Treasure Valley institution of higher education is welcome to submit a proposal, including faculty who teach online, whether they are located in the Treasure Valley or teach from a distance. Technology will be available to hold remote sessions during the conference, so please feel free to submit your session ideas even if you are not able to join us in person. Along with providing an overview of the session topic, this year we'd like potential presenters to 1) identify a preferred length for the presentation and 2) tag their session to one of our conference themes.

To submit a proposal, please complete the information below. Proposals are due by March 15th, 2020.

We look forward to receiving your submission.
