    Adjunct faculty may utilize any available shared workspaces. These workspaces are located on various hallways. Adjuncts may also utilize the staff lounges in Rooms 350 and 405 on the Piqua campus. Staff lounges are equipped with computers, copiers, refrigerators, microwaves, tables and file drawers. You are welcome to use a staff lounge to hang coats, work and eat meals. Quiet workspace is also available in the Library and at the Greenville, Eaton and Troy locations. Please remember that students—including student workers—are not permitted in the lounge areas. If an adjunct needs to meet with a student, open adjunct offices are available on a first-come basis. These rooms are designated by an "Adjunct Office" sign on the door.

    The Edison Foundation's Classroom & Department Mini-Grant Program is designed to provide financial support for projects, programs and services not funded through the employees' regular departmental budgets. All full-time faculty and staff are eligible to apply for a mini-grant. To be considered, the scope of the request must support the mission of the College and directly impact Edison State students. A committee from The Edison Foundation Board of Directors and staff will choose grant recipients, allocating up to $500 for each proposal. The committee's goal is to award as many grants as possible to eligible faculty and/or staff. You can find more information via the link below.

    Keys and/or key cards are issued after approval by the appropriate academic dean. Once approved, contact Administrative Services in Room 161.

    Edison State has general liability coverage of $1 million with a $10 million liability umbrella for all faculty—for a combined total of $11 million. The professional medical staff policy, which covers the nursing faculty has a $5 million policy. Each faculty member may, if desired, obtain additional coverage. Faculty members should use good judgement in order to avoid situations which could potentially result in a liability action. Additional information regarding liability coverage can be found by contacting the Business Office.

    Each faculty and staff member is assigned a mailbox. On the Piqua campus, mailboxes are located in the Staff Lounge in Room 350. Contact the Edison State at Greenville, Edison State at Eaton or Edison State at Troy location for information on mailbox locations. Faculty should check their mailbox before each class. We must rely on you to convey important information to our students. For faculty who teach off-campus, you may pick up your materials or request for them to be mailed to you.

    In addition to the internal professional development that is provided on a continual basis, each full-time faculty member is allotted $900/annually to be used for professional development. Adjunct faculty are invited and encouraged to take advantage of internal professional development opportunities. 

    Promotion should be recognition of the mastery of the characteristics associated with a rank. Since these characteristics assume excellence and commitment to teaching and learning, faculty seeking promotion should be assisted and guided in achieving that goal. The Provost will provide faculty with the Promotion Handbook and Rubric by December 15, annually, so that applications can be completed prior to the February 1, 5:00 p.m. deadline.

    Room reservations may be made by contacting Administrative Services in Room 161 or by filling out a Facilities Use Request Form. You can access this form via the link below.
