We are deeply passionate about our students and excited by the challenge of building something entirely new.

The African Leadership University is committed to ensuring the safety and Well-being of all students under our care. As part of this commitment , we have a comprehensive safeguarding policy in place , which outlines our Zero-tolerance approach to any violation of safeguarding.

Adjunct (or Affiliate) Faculty contribute to our student learning by bringing their educational and experiential perspectives to our students, supplement our faculty capacity, and generally contribute to the mission of African Leadership University (ALU)–to develop and launch a generation of ethical, entrepreneurial leaders from and for Africa.

Adjunct faculty engage with ALU in a few of ways, including the following:

• Facilitating one or more of the modules in our curriculum, on campus and/or online. (Modules range in duration from 6 to 12 weeks.)
• Developing–in collaboration with our Learning Experience Design team–and facilitating a new elective to correspond to our curriculum. On campus, online, or blended.
• Serving as a subject matter expert and content developer of credit and non-credit educational programs in conjunction with our LED team.

Adjuncts who are engaged to facilitate or develop content for modules are paid, either on an assignment/deliverables basis or an hourly basis.
