- Supports your teaching and scholarship with professional development
- Creates a community of support for future teaching, scholarship, service, and leadership at 91视频
Ongoing Support

Monthly gatherings of all first-year faculty take place for a time of sharing about faculty experiences. Invited guests may also participate to discuss topics of interest and explore opportunities taking place on campus. Lunch is provided by the Provost's office.
