New Faculty Orientation
NFO provides support for teaching on the Block Plan using a liberal arts lens and inclusive, equitable, and antiracist pedagogies. This orientation introduces new faculty to colleagues across the campus. The orientation is optional but strongly encouraged.
NFO runs for three days late in the summer. The first day is “CC Connect” organized by our partners in HR on Friday, August 16. Days two and three are organized by the Crown Center for Teaching and takes place on Monday and Tuesday, August 19-20. Breakfast and lunch are provided along with parking passes for those that need them.
Open to new tenure track and tenured faculty, one-year visiting faculty, and Riley Scholars.
