When we mention faculty staff, we often think of the full-time faculty first. However, there is also an important group of adjunct faculty that we should not forget. These staff are experts in their field who bring in their wealth of practical experience to enrich the learning experience for our students. Let’s get to know two adjunct senior lecturers who have recently joined the Department.
