New Faculty Orientation

New faculty orientation course

New faculty (term and tenure-eligible) are strongly encouraged to orient themselves to Iowa State University prior to their official hire dates, using the New Faculty Orientation course. Through this course and other onboarding and orientation activities, we seek to:

• cultivate a shared understanding of institutional mission and culture
• introduce you to important policies, programs, and information designed to advance your success
• provide you with information about how to successfully perform your position responsibilities
• encourage you to network with other new faculty and cultivate a greater sense of community and belonging

These resources are offered to provide support and information and facilitate a smooth transition to your faculty appointment. New faculty will retain access and use of the New Faculty Orientation course after their appointments formally begin.
