Faculty

Faculty is composed of approximately 31 full-time instructors and numerous part-time instructors. Instructors of transfer courses have a scholarly background in their major field and have earned a Master's degree or higher. Faculty in professional-technical programs have a rich background which combines education with practical, on-the-job experience. All faculty and staff are encouraged to continue professional development. Faculty members also advise students and help them develop educational plans. Many faculty members donate several hours a week to assist in student activities, clubs, and special events. Part-time instructors serve in nearly every instructional program and are an integral part of the TVCC success story.

TVCC also employs corrections-specific faculty in its corrections education programs, including six (6) faculty members at Snake River Correctional Institution, and three (3) faculty each at both Eastern Oregon Correctional Institution and Two Rivers Correctional Institution. Additionally, a number of both full-time and part-time faculty from the Ontario campus teach courses across TVCC's corrections education programming.
