Office <strong>of</strong> <strong>Community</strong> Partnerships and Practice<br />
From the Desk <strong>of</strong> Sonda Oppewal<br />
Associate Dean for <strong>Community</strong> Partnerships and Practice<br />
Welcome to this new edition <strong>of</strong> <strong>Adjunct</strong> <strong>Faculty</strong><br />
<strong>Community</strong> <strong>Connections</strong>! This newsletter highlights the<br />
achievements, appointments, and reappointments <strong>of</strong> our<br />
adjunct faculty members so our SON faculty and adjunct<br />
faculty can become better acquainted and form stronger<br />
partnerships. We greatly appreciate the rich diversity <strong>of</strong><br />
expertise and the many contributions that our approximately<br />
140 adjunct faculty members bring to the SON. <strong>Adjunct</strong><br />
faculty members contribute to every aspect <strong>of</strong> our <strong>School</strong>’s<br />
mission by giving numerous volunteer hours in various roles such as clinical<br />
preceptors, lecturers, curriculum or project consultants, committee members,<br />
and research partners.<br />
I greatly appreciate Sue Snyder’s work on creating this newsletter and<br />
for all <strong>of</strong> her work with processing adjunct faculty member appointments and<br />
reappointments and all related documents. A list <strong>of</strong> adjunct faculty members is<br />
at http://nursing.unc.edu/departments/outreach/adjunct.html. If you would<br />
like to know all <strong>of</strong> the adjunct faculty members that we have by a specific<br />
clinical area, just send Sue or I a note and we can send that information to you.<br />
Or, if you would like a read-only version <strong>of</strong> the adjunct faculty database on your<br />
desktop computer, just let us know and we will submit<br />
that request.<br />
For those who serve as a partnering faculty<br />
member to our adjunct faculty members--thank you!<br />
We rely on the communication you maintain with your<br />
adjunct faculty member so that person knows how best<br />
to contribute to the mission <strong>of</strong> our school and be<br />
involved actively on an ongoing basis.<br />
Unless we hear otherwise, we plan on sending out a similar newsletter<br />
twice a year with adjunct faculty member achievements, new appointments,<br />
and reappointments. Please send us your feedback on this newsletter or your<br />
suggestions to better strengthen the partnerships we have with our adjunct<br />
faculty members. Our adjunct faculty members want to be involved, they want<br />
to participate on committees or other projects, and they welcome the<br />
opportunity to give their time and talents to our school!<br />
To strong partnerships!<br />
