Each discipline maintains contacts with adjunct faculty who are often employed within their own area of specialization. All faculty members are involved in professional development activities and are constantly looking for new and innovative ideas to incorporate into their instructional delivery. It is the expressed goal of the division to provide student-centered learning approaches that encourage logical thinking and creative techniques for problem-solving while promoting personal initiative, responsibility, perseverance, and respect for others.
