First-Year Experience for Faculty

91视频 is excited to welcome new faculty to campus. We've specifically designed a year of support that:

  • Provides orientation to the life of a faculty member at 91视频
  • 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

First-Year Faculty Lunches with the Provost 

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. 

When: 12:30- 1:20 p.m. (Common Hour) on select Thursdays throughout the semester.

Peer Mentor Learning Community  

Faculty will become members of small mentor learning groups to share experiences and provide support across the first year (and beyond). Each community is expected to meet as a group at least twice a semester, and guidance from Faculty Development will be provided to include observation and discussion resources. Each member is to partner with another to complete peer observations. 

When: Twice a semester on select dates throughout the semester. 

Virtual Monthly Minutes 

15-minute brown bag lunch virtual chats will provide information on topics to support new faculty at 91视频. These will be recorded and shared with new faculty unable to attend. Topics include: 

August - Campus-wide Student Support  September - Major and General Education Requirements 

 

When: 12:30 - 12:45 p.m. (Common Hour) on select dates throughout the semester. 

  • October - Sticky Teaching Situations Panel 
  • November - Supporting Academic Integrity & Policies 
  • January - Establishing a Scholarly Agenda 
  • February - Faculty Governance, Service, and Advocacy 
  • March - Teaching, Service, and Research Balance 
  • April - Understanding the Evaluation Process 
Campus-Wide Professional Development Series  

A set of monthly learning opportunities with fellow colleagues designed to foster community while building the capacity of our faculty and staff. 

When: 12:30 - 1:20 p.m. (Common Hour) on select dates throughout the semester. 

Growing & Thriving Campus

"With our growth comes the need to expand academic offerings by adding to our already exceptional team of educators so that we may better serve our student body. I am thrilled to welcome new faculty members to the 91视频 family as we seek to equip our students with the tools they need to live lives of impact."
