College of Arts & Sciences, Family and Consumer Sciences Residential Adjunct: Event Planning and Professional & Creative Industries Program

About the role

Adjuncts are essential to Liberty University’s mission of Training Champions for Christ. It is expected that an adjunct member models a personal commitment to the goals and values of Liberty University, engage in an active commitment to, and experience of, personal spiritual formation within a biblically informed Christian worldview. Adjuncts should view their teaching, engagement with students, and scholarship as a means to a significant educational end. They should strive to employ a variety of techniques for the development of good learning conditions, view each student as a unique individual, and insofar as it is possible, provide for individual differences, abilities, and interests. Liberty University’s Department of Family & Consumer Sciences invites applications for an adjunct professor in its Event Planning and Professional & Creative Industries Bachelor of Science programs. These programs are growing quickly, and the department seeks an individual who is passionate about teaching event planning and career courses. Candidates must embrace Liberty University’s evangelical mission and be committed to training champions for Christ.
