Boise State University is a public doctoral research institution located in Boise, Idaho, with an enrollment of approximately 26,000 students. Of the approximately 1,400 faculty members at Boise State, 76% are in VITAL (contingent) positions, including 43% part-time and 33% full-time. The Adjunct Faculty Learning Community (AFLC) is a program offered by the Center for Teaching and Learning (CTL) that provides a semester-long format for adjunct faculty to engage in sustained learning and connection with their peers. This case study explores the implementation of discipline-specific professional development in the School of Social Work's (SSW) Online Master's of Social Work (MSW) program and the Department of Mathematics at Boise State.
