Join us on Monday, September 1st for a screening of the new indie film Adjunct, and stick around after the screening for an in-person Q&A with the writer, director, and star of the film–Ron Najor!
In Adjunct, a Middle Eastern American writer turned adjunct college professor comes to terms with being undervalued at his job and figures out his next move. A profoundly personal exploration of purpose and resilience in a system that values flexibility over loyalty.
Based on his real life experiences as an adjunct college professor, Ron Najor (producer of Short Term 12 and the upcoming Lucky Lu) wrote, directed, produced and starred in Adjunct as a means of sharing the behind the scenes realities of being an educator in the university system.
