New Faculty Orientation 2023
The August portion of the New Faculty Orientation will take place on August 16 and 18, 2023. On these days, incoming full-time faculty will have the opportunity to: meet each other in person; learn about some of the formal expectations for Allegheny faculty; explore campus and learn about different offices and their staff; talk about teaching; and ask lots of questions! Please stay tuned for an email from Director of Faculty Development Rachel Weir in early August with additional details.
If you’re not familiar with Canvas or would like a refresher, you are encouraged to sign up for one or both of the August 17 Canvas workshops (see the Canvas Tips page for more details).
The orientation program will continue through the academic year with lunch meetings on selected Fridays. More details, including a list of dates, will be available in August.
