Episode #3 of the Passionate About Pedagogy Podcast with LMC

“Tribute, Tuition, & Kindness: Your AFA Update”

DESCRIPTION: Get all the details from the recent meeting between Dr. Lowery-Hart and the Adjunct Faculty Association officers. I'll provide a full update and breakdown of what was discussed.

Welcome  to this podcast episode, where we honor and remember Christie Carr, our  esteemed Past President of the Adjunct Faculty Association. Join us as  we reflect on Christie's impactful contributions to Austin Community  College and her legacy.

In  this episode, we also unveil an exciting proposal for the Kindness Day  Initiative, inviting everyone to participate in a college-wide challenge  on World Kindness Day, November 13, 2025. We'll discuss how small acts  of kindness can create a ripple effect of positivity across ACC.

Additionally,  we'll examine our request to expand the free tuition to include spouses  of ACC employees. This initiative aims to enhance support for families  and further strengthen our community. We'll also discuss the course  evaluations pilot and 5-point Likert Scale. We close out the meeting  report covering concerns raised regarding Summer 2025 eStaffing.

To  wrap up, we will remind you that "Donut Days" are around the corner at  your campus. These events are a sweet way to celebrate our adjunct  community and give you a sneak peek of future podcasts to protect your  rights as adjunct faculty here at ACC.

This  week will be a double dose of the Passionate About Pedagogy Podcast—we  have an interview with our fabulous instructional designers about  getting your course materials shored up and how our future AFA Coffee  Chats can assist you in this endeavor. 

Stay tuned for inspiring conversations, essential updates, and engaging discussions that connect us all!
