Adjunct Faculty Mentoring Program

Butler Community College has established a Mentoring Program to support the Adjunct Faculty at our Andover, Council Grove, El Dorado, Marion, McConnell, and Rose Hill sites.   The Mentoring Program pairs experienced instructors with those that are new to Butler for the first semester.  

• Mentors are used to help Adjuncts in the areas of communication, teaching strategies, policies and procedures, connections to the college, information, and to be there to answer questions.
• Mentors are recommended by the hiring administrator or Director of Faculty Development and can be either a full-time Faculty or an experienced Adjunct Faculty instructor.
• All Mentors receive a Mentoring Handbook that describes the procedures and suggestions for being an effective mentor and is an excellent source of information.
• Mentors are an important asset of the Adjunct Faculty program and are valued as an excellent resource for their experience they bring to the program and their help at improving the teaching processes at Butler.
• You can be a Mentor at Butler after your first first semester at Butler.   If interested, contact Bob Meyer for more information.
• As one new Adjunct Faculty instructor put it, my Mentor prevented me from "building igloos in the desert. "

"The title of "Mentor" is an honor and privilege and the opportunity to provide a valued service within the Butler learning community. It should never be undertaken lightly so approach this role with the greatest of humility knowing that your influence could last a lifetime. " - Bob Meyer

Upon completion of the Mentoring work provided during the semester, go to the following link, fill out the form, and submit it to the Office of Faculty Development for payment.
