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 />

Sonda Oppewal and Sue Snyder
