Only at TRC are adjuncts eligible for their own award! While they are also eligible for any of the TRACE awards, Trinity River Campus would like to recognize an individual who truly excels at being an adjunct. We could not do all we do for our students without their help, and we'd like to thank them.
Some of the traits we feel embody an outstanding adjunct are:
Efforts beyond the classroom
Service on district or campus committees
Service time out of the classroom
Personal interest in students
Engaging and enthusiastic teaching style
Mentor-ship of students and/or other teachers
Approachability
Involvement in student activities
This award is to recognize a person whose behavior, reliability, and work ethic are exemplary and whose attitude brings to life the philosophy of the Hallmarks and the spirit of Disney.
