Taheerah Mujahid and KC Culver
Delphi Award Finalist, 2025

This brief is centered on the Community College of Baltimore County (CCBC). A 2025 finalist of the Delphi Award, it is a large, multi-campus institution serving more than 51,000 students across credit-bearing and continuing education (CE) programs each year, positioning it as one of the largest two-year institutions in Maryland. The college operates across three main campuses: Catonsville, Dundalk, and Essex. CCBC relies on a broadly-distributed instructional workforce to fulfill its mission of transforming lives through accessible, high-quality education. In addition to 433 full-time instructors, CCBC employees nearly 1,000 part-time VITAL faculty, who are fairly evenly split across credit-bearing and CE courses. The Institute for Transformative Teaching, Learning, and Leadership (The Institute) was established in 2023 as a centralized hub for faculty development. CCBC’s strategic plan explicitly names faculty equity, pedagogical innovation, and workforce sustainability as institutional priorities, anchoring its commitment to comprehensive adjunct support. This institutional context — large-scale, mission-driven, and structurally complex — provides the foundation for CCBC’s multi-layered approach to better supporting part-time VITAL faculty through faculty development, governance inclusion, and long-term organizational learning.
