NEW! In recognition of the evolving landscape of faculty positions, we now offer VITAL membership. The acronym “VITAL” stands for
Visitors, Instructors, TAs, Adjuncts, and Lecturers, however, we know that there is considerable variation in the naming of these positions. This category of membership is intended for instructors employed at MAA Departmental
Member institutions who are not included in the usual tenure and/or promotion process and whose compensation is not commensurate with faculty who are in those positions. Depending on the institution, this may variously include part-time instructors, non-tenure
track instructors, and employees in other ancillary instructional positions. (To qualify, you must be at an institution with a current MAA Departmental Membership and provide a validation code, which you can get from your Departmental Membership Administrator
or Department Chair.)
