Virtual Meeting, Community Colleges Community of Practice

The New Jersey Council for the Humanities hosts quarterly meetings of the Community of Practice for community college faculty and administrators. These virtual sessions will be provided as a statewide platform for community college professionals to share their experiences, build a collective knowledge base for learning from each other’s practices, and connect with each other and NJCH. Through discussions moderated by the group facilitators and NJCH staff, the sessions will provide an opportunity to network with other New Jersey community college faculty and administrators, share challenges and successes of teaching and working in this space, and discuss the place of the humanities at two-year degree-granting institutions as we move into the future.

At this first meeting of the community of practice in 2025, we will be joined by Professors Stephanie Gomes (Communication and Creative & Performing Arts Division, Rowan College of South Jersey) and Daniel Sheehan (Visual and Performing Arts Department, Bergen Community College), who will offer short presentations about their experiences as participants in Princeton’s Community College Faculty Program, particularly around how this opportunity for continuing education and professional development has reshaped their practice as professors and teachers. Following the presentation, our group facilitators will invite participants and attendees to participate in a collaborative discussion about the enduring value of continuing education and professional development for community college faculty and administrators. The meeting will not be recorded, but the meeting minutes will be distributed to all meeting registrants.
