Introduction of new UVU Faculty Forum.

Co-sponsored by AFT-UVSC, and UVSC AAUP.

In a historic decision on May 29, the Missouri Supreme Court gave public employees, including teachers, the right to bargain collectively with employers.
The ruling supports Article 1, Section 29 in the Missouri Constitution, which provides “That employees shall have the right to organize and bargain collectively through representatives of their own choosing.”

Why We Teach

   There is nothing more satisfing than sharing information about a subject you love and see the seed of that passion grow in a student. But we as instructors receive so much from our students as well. Their personal stories of triumphs and pitfalls are also the seed they plant in us. Through our students, we are educated in the disciplines of humanity and diversity. I hope this article about an HCC student of mine becomes the first of a series of articles. I am inviting any HCC adjunct faculty to submit a story about one of their students that they feel inspired by.
