We're delighted that you are joining Seattle University!
These webpages are designed to help you with your orientation as a new faculty member, or as a current SU faculty member stepping into a new role, and are intended to complement your experiences in our New Faculty Institute (NFI). NFI is organized by a planning team made up of representatives from the colleges on behalf of the Provost.
NFI has seven goals:
In consideration of the continuing logistical uncertainty around hosting in-person events in Fall Quarter due to the pandemic, NFI 2021 will comprise three half-days and one follow-up session prior to the start of the quarter, and three further sessions later in Fall Quarter, all delivered virtually.
The NFI Planning Team of faculty created a flipped program such that information components are available online so that time together is devoted to activity, social connection, and discussion.
Dates and times are as follows:
Follow-up sessions:
*The Canvas Basics training (see sidebar), facilitated by the Center for Digital Learning & Innovation (CDLI), is completely optional. This session introduces the core Canvas tools to upload, organize, and distribute course content, communications, as well as collect student papers and distribute grades and feedback. We encourage you to attend if you haven't had much experience working with Canvas in the past. Pick a Canvas training date here.
