Complete your daily Safe Start Health Check screening.
We are delighted to welcome you to Seattle University. Our already exceptional faculty will be enhanced with your arrival.
Below we have outlined several important events for new faculty and further down, you will find an RSVP button to register for these events. Please note that these new faculty events are for full-time tenure-track (TT) and non tenure-track (NTT) faculty only; if you are a new part-time faculty member, please contact your college or school to find out about orientation services available to you.
NFI 2020: As you can imagine, we have made a lot of changes this year, given much of our work has moved to a virtual platform during the pandemic, introducing a number of new challenges and opportunities for designing NFI. In order to make the most of the shortened time that we will have together during the first week of September, we ask that you plan to set aside a few hours during the week leading up to NFI to explore some preliminary material that will be shared with you via a common Canvas site. These materials will prepare you to fully engage with the activities and discussion we have planned for the live portion of NFI.
At this follow-up session you will work with the Office of the University Counsel to gain an awareness of the ethical and applied legal context of working in higher education.
This session engages participants in self-reflection (e.g., What are your work expectations?), self-assessment (e.g., How do you manage the demands of teaching, scholarship and service?), and provides a foundation for building personal, interpersonal and institutional resiliency strategies.
