Welcome to the University of Windsor’s New Faculty Orientation!

This highly interactive event focuses on critical start-up knowledge for your research, teaching, and career planning. It's also a great chance to meet your colleagues, as well as key people in teaching and learning, research services, student services, and the administration.

Orientation will help you to:

  • hit the ground running, no matter what position you’re taking on;
  • start developing your campus network;
  • get to know the campus and the community; and
  • get help with organizational and logistical issues that often take up a lot of new faculty members’ time and energy.

We strongly encourage you to attend! We encourage participants to register for events, even if they can only attend part of the day.
