Faculty/Staff Presenters

Each year Seattle Colleges' faculty come together to share their passion for their programs and for teaching students at Discover Seattle Colleges events. It's a showcase opportunity like no other! 

Present at Online Events

Hundreds of faculty and staff that have presented and hosted events since 2021. You are responsible for building a library of more than 200 videos with thousands of views. 

On the day of your presentation your audience size may have varied from one to many but your content and enthusiasm lives on as we continue to share your videos through our websites and email communications with prospective and current students determining what path of study they want to pursue.

Stipends

Participating faculty will be compensated for their time spent on activities. There are two budgets set aside for stipends:

  1. Workforce Division Faculty (non-BAS)
    District Workforce pays stipends out of the District Perkins funding (a 145 budget). Discover is written into our Perkins plan, with funds allocated each year to support faculty stipends for the events. Discover Seattle Colleges is part of our Perkins Comprehensive Local Needs Assessment (CLNA) strategic goals to inform the community about workforce offerings at Seattle Colleges.
     
  2. Academic Transfer and BAS Faculty
    District Public Relations & Strategic Initiatives manages a Discover Seattle Colleges budget to pay for stipends for academic transfer and BAS faculty. These funds have been cleared for this purpose.

Stipend Process

For Discover Seattle Colleges 2026, stipends are available to faculty participating in the Discover Online Zoom Events and Discover Field Trips.

  • Discover Online Zoom Events: Maximum 3.5 hours (2 hours of preparation, 1.5 hours for day-of presentation)
  • Discover Field Trips: Maximum 6 hours (2 hours of preparation, 4 hours for day-of activities)

After the Discover events, Rachel Andre, Director of Workforce Development, sends faculty a stipend request form to participating faculty asking for their information and total number of hours spent out of the maximum. Once this is complete, the list is sent Payroll and the budget managers for processing.

For further questions about the Discover faculty stipends budget and process, please reach out to Rachel Andre and Barb Childs, AVC of Public Relations & Strategic Initiatives.
