In addition to adjunct faculty, full-time faculty, management, executive management, and board trustees attended the event.

Indeed, amongst Mt. SAC’s 1,500 professors, a full 70% are adjunct faculty.

“Adjunct professors provide outstanding instruction, counseling, and support services to students.  In some cases, they do this work while facing challenging situations,” said Woolery.
