Helpful hints and tips from your fellow faculty members.
Information for New Faculty Members
This Web site is intended as a resource for new faculty of the College of the Liberal Arts. There is so much for incoming faculty to learn about, such as issues around teaching, research, safety, student supervision, employment policies, and a whole host of things that are not specifically work-related. Answers to questions are available somewhere, but in scattered and sometimes difficult-to-find locations. Our ultimate purpose is to put all the information together in one place. We hope you will bookmark this site and come back to it often.
Please don't be intimidated by the enormity of the information presented. You will never need to know all of this and certainly not all at the beginning of your appointment. The site is here for you to refer to, to help you know what questions you need to ask, and to save you hours of time surfing the Web to find the answers.
