Message from the Associate Vice President

To those lecturers just joining the CSU Fullerton faculty – a warm welcome! To those returning, we are pleased to have you back. Whether you are appointed part-time or full-time as a lecturer, you are a vital part of the faculty and you play an important role in meeting the mission of California State University, Fullerton.
The importance of creating a dynamic learning community requires all of us to continuously innovate and assess how we engage our students and each other, how we implement technology in our classrooms and enhance the University's learning environment, and how we prepare ourselves for the many challenges of the classroom.
This handbook has been designed for use by lecturer faculty as a practical guide. It outlines some logistical, administrative, professional and developmental resources available to CSUF faculty. This handbook is not intended to be exhaustive nor does it replace the CSU/CFA Collective Bargaining Agreement (CBA) or University Policy Statements. Nonetheless, it is hoped that it will provide you with readily accessible answers to some of the most common questions asked by our lecturer faculty.
More extensive statements on issues that affect all faculty members can be found in the CBA or in University Policy Statements. Several offices are available to respond to questions concerning University policy and procedures, including the offices of your Department Chair and College Dean, the Vice President for Academic Affairs, the Academic Senate, or Faculty Affairs and Records.
We hope that the information provided herein will assist you during your employment at CSUF!
We look forward to a mutually beneficial and productive relationship, in service to the educational needs of our students.
On behalf of the Division of Academic Affairs,
| Jennifer Faust |
| Associate Vice President for Academic Affairs |
