New Faculty Orientation
The Office of Faculty Excellence, in partnership with the Provost's Office, hosts New Faculty Orientation to welcome new faculty and create a positive and productive transition to UNF. We are so proud of our students, faculty, and staff and we can’t wait for you to meet everyone.
Full-Time, Permanent Faculty
New Faculty Orientation activities for permanent, full-time faculty (i.e., tenure-track, clinical professors, instructors, lecturers, and library faculty) will be held Monday, August 3rd - Wednesday, August 5th, 2026. We are mindful that this is a busy time and have been deliberate in putting together a lineup of helpful information that you will need in your first semester.
Our events will begin on Monday, August 3rd in Room 4202 in Building 16. Registration will begin at 8:30 and the Welcome Breakfast will start at 9:00.
We realize some of you are returning UNF faculty who have been hired into a new full-time position. Although you might not be new to UNF, we encourage you to join us for the New Faculty Orientation events to become better acquainted with your fellow new faculty and the resources available to you as full-time faculty.
If you are a new faculty member and have questions about New Faculty Orientation or your transition to UNF, please feel free to contact the Office for Faculty Excellence at ofe@unf.edu.
