The St. Louis Conference for Contingent Faculty is scheduled to take place April 8 at the Crowne Plaza Hotel in Clayton, Mo. Webster music professor Earl Henry designed a conference for contingent faculty to meet and plan ways to make positive changes in their careers. Henry is not an adjunct instructor himself, but over the summer he encountered many of the complaints from contingent faculty and wanted to help their situation. With plenty of help, the organized the conference to get those who want to make changes together.
Speakers and workshops are planned to fill the day's schedule. Lunch will be provided but is included in the cost of attending. The registration and lunch fee is $35. An optional breakfast session is available at 8:30 a.m. for an extra $10. The conference begins at 10 a.m. and will end around 4 p.m.
The registration has currently reached its full capacity at 50 participants, but Henry is trying to make arrangements for more. He is unsure how many professors from Webster will be attending.
Jan Gippo, a Webster adjunct professor in the music department will be one of the speakers.
