Adjunct Instructor, Electrical Utilities and Substation
Danville Community College developed from two institutions, Danville Technical Institute and the Danville Division of Virginia Polytechnic Institute opened in 1936 as Danville Textile School, becoming Danville Technical Institute just after World War II. The Danville Division of Virginia Polytechnic Institute first began as an engineering division in 1946 and was later expanded to include the first two years of course work for all engineering, business administration, liberal arts, and science majors. Beginning in the summer of 1966, all programs taught by Danville Technical Institute were brought under the Virginia Department of Community Colleges. Effective July 1, 1968, the Danville Division of Virginia Polytechnic Institute merged with the existing community college providing the comprehensive programs now offered.
The primary responsibilities include instructing students, organizing and maintaining labs and lab equipment, recruiting and advising students, and assisting students with job placement. Teaching assignments may include day and evening classes for program-placed and non-program-placed students, students in Workforce Services training programs and non-curricular students.
