Data indicate approximately 4,000 more students are expected \u2014 that\u2019s up about 15% compared to fall 2024.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>To help meet the growing demand, the College expects to add an additional 500 sections and 30,000 more semester credit hours to the fall course schedule, but current staffing can\u2019t keep up with the growth. A special adjunct faculty hiring fair will be held on Friday, July 25, to recruit new faculty.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>\u201cOur faculty have been amazing. They\u2019re stepping in and asking how they can help. This is a clear call to continue to rise to meet the needs of our incoming and continuing students in a robust way,\u201d says Dr. Beth Knight, ACC Academic Programs associate vice chancellor. \u201cThis is an incredible opportunity for someone who\u2019s thought about leading a classroom. We know there are community members who are ready for this opportunity to support the academic journey of students. This is ideal for someone with solid subject matter expertise and the heart to support our students. We\u2019re here to help the right candidate get set up for success in the classroom.\u201d&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>Adjunct Faculty Hiring Fair<br \/>Date: <\/strong>Friday, July 25, 2025<br \/><strong>Time:<\/strong> 9 a.m. \u2013 4 p.m.<br \/><strong>Location:<\/strong> Highland Campus, Building 2000, 1st Floor<br \/>RSVP: <a href=\"https:\/\/docs.google.com\/forms\/d\/e\/1FAIpQLSd_oVsdCDkeqdfArGQgvlFOYSVDUFVKoNykDiaLjljyUlZytQ\/viewform\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">HERE<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Participants can expect to spend 30 minutes to 2 hours with us, with opportunities to explore career options and connect with departments that are hiring.
