Vantaggi

-The students are absolutely wonderful. For the most part, they are smart, kind, and eager to learn. -Funding is available for travel to conferences, etc., but is limited for visiting faculty (even if they say it isn't, which they will in your interview / when hiring).

Svantaggi

-The motto here forever has been "hire visiting faculty, get them hired elsewhere on a tenure track." Unless you have a wealthy donor family member or a spouse at the college, you will not be hired long-term from a VAP position period. -The admin is known to belittle and ignore the needs of staff members, and there is a stark and consistently reified / supported separation between staff and faculty (which serves the college). -Pay here is not great, especially when compared to peer institutions. Tenure-track faculty have no idea how little their VAP colleagues make.
