To help you sort through the paperwork, policies and events you need to know about as a new faculty member, we have developed the following checklist. Please note that items on the checklist are required unless otherwise noted. As you work your way through the checklist, please do not hesitate to call us if you have questions. You will also find much useful information at the New Faculty Orientation Moodle page which you will be able to access at your own Moodle page after you get your email user name and password.  We look forward to seeing you on campus!
