Faculty - English and Composition

Honors Pathway seeks to recruit Adjunct Faculty candidates on behalf of its partner universities, in order to teach English and Composition ground-based college classes in a new, innovative model called MicroCollege.

HP partners with a growing network of non-profit, regionally accredited universities and public high schools to operate MicroCollege sites where students attend their first year of college in a highly supportive environment – at no cost to them or their families. Courses are offered in small class sizes at "micro" extension sites of Honors Pathway's partner universities, and students and faculty are supported with two Tutors/Coaches per class, a Success Coach, and a Site Director. 

MicroCollege sites are fun, vibrant locations where faculty have the opportunity to build authentic connections with their students and community of support. To learn more about MicroCollege, visit http://bit.ly/microcoll.
