New Faculty Orientation

oneColumn

The Office of Faculty Excellence hosts New Faculty Orientation in partnership with the Provost’s Office to welcome new faculty and create a positive and productive transition to UNF. We are so proud of our students, faculty, and staff and can’t wait for you to meet everyone.

New Faculty Orientation activities will be held Monday, August 7 through Wednesday, August 9, 2023. The schedule below includes registration links for each event. Once you register, you will be sent an Outlook calendar invitation with further information. The Academic Affairs Orientation is held at the University Center and you do not need a special parking pass for that event. For the remaining events on main campus, please park in Garage 44 on floors two through four for free parking.

We realize many of you are returning UNF faculty and may not need the full program, so please register for the events that would be most beneficial for you. Please contact the Office for Faculty Excellence at ofe@unf.edu if you have questions.

Full-Time Faculty

These sessions are for all new full-time faculty including tenure-track, clinical, instructors, librarians, and lecturers hired since January 2023. Please click the title for a link to register so we can properly plan for your attendance.
