Teachers' working conditions are students' learning conditions.

The plight of non-tenured professors is widely known, but what about the impact they have on the students they’re hired to instruct?

Another successful story for adjunct professors!

Part-time faculty at Lesley University have ratified their first union contract, with big gains: a 33% pay raise over three years for most part-time faculty, increased job security, the creation of a professional development fund, and representation in University governance. Congratulations to them!

You two, along with all our seniors, will be missed terribly. Thank you for your love & commitment to T.T.T. and LMU SLEJ.

Pictured are some of the tutors, tutees, and family for today's session.

SLEJ Community, Enrique Ramirez is a LMU Community member that has worked for Facilities Management for over 15 years of his life. On January 19th, Enrique was unfortunately diagnosed with Stage 4 of metastatic cancer. As stated in the GoFundMe page: "Enrique is a father, husband, son, employee, leader, friend, and music and health enthusiast...Enrique has been away from work since December of 2014, and there is currently no clear timetable for his return. Your donation would help Enrique cover co-payments, deductibles, treatments, diet expenses, and personal care products."

With that being said, we would like to extend the invitation to the LMU SLEJ community to help support Enrique during this difficult time. No donating is a small donation, every little bit counts! His hard-work, commitment and love for the LMU community is one that is irreplaceable.

Enrique is a father, husband, son, employee, leader, friend, and music and health enthusiast. He has been independent and a provider his whole life. He has been working for LMU for over 13 years and he loves every aspect of his job. We love him so much. After weeks of pain, weight loss, doctor vi...
