August 21, 2012 From: Peter Starr, Dean, College of Arts and Sciences American University To: Adjunct Faculty Members Subject: Welcome Welcome to AU’s College of Arts and Sciences. If you’re a returning CAS adjunct faculty member, you know how much we value your contribution to the College. And if you’re a new member of CAS, allow me to congratulate you on your appointment. I would also like to take this opportunity to direct you to a valuable resource. The College’s Adjunct Faculty Support webpage (american.edu/cas/about/adjuncts) contains a wide range of useful information. Here you will find facts on tax forms and visas, as well as links to teaching aids such as Blackboard and Audio Visual Services. Also available are links to campus resources such as the Writing Center and the Academic Support Center, and notes on important university and College policies. Again, welcome to the College. We look forward to an exciting and successful year. Regards, Peter Starr
