The program provides Maricopa Community College's adjunct faculty members with financial reimbursement for attending external (outside of Maricopa County Community College District sponsored events) conferences, seminars, workshops, and professional meetings that are directly related to courses taught and that will enhance the adjuncts' teaching skills and their students' learning.
