Because of a last-minute surge in incoming freshmen, the General
Humanities Program at Montclair State University is in severe need of
adjunct faculty to teach additional sections of Earlier and Later
Western Humanities and also of Mythology during the day in the Fall 1999
semester, running from September 2 through December 22. Montclair State
University is located 12 miles west of midtown Manhattan in suburban New
Jersey. Those in the New York/New Jersey metropolitan area who have at
least an M.A. in a humanities area will find teaching in our program an
excellent way to develop and hone instructional skills in the humanities
under the guidance of full-time General Humanities faculty.
