We’re adjuncts. Like you, we teach at Rutgers University. We cover all three main campuses (Camden, Newark, New Brunswick), satellite campuses across NJ, and online.

​We know that adjuncts do more than just teach.

We believe that Rutgers adjuncts represent the full vibrancy and diversity that Rutgers has to offer, and that adjuncts help to connect Rutgers to communities all across New Jersey.

We think adjuncts should have a secure and just working environment.

We are committed to economic parity and social equality.

We are committed to building stronger community bonds with other adjuncts and to actively engage in all levels of university governance and function–from undergraduates to administration.
