IUP’s New Faculty Orientation introduces new faculty members to the university and community and explores topics such as diversity, teaching, and learning.
Welcome to Indiana University of Pennsylvania! We are very excited to have you join our campus community. CTE supports new faculty through programs specifically designed for new faculty success. These include New Faculty Orientation, links to key IUP Resources, and Upcoming Meetings. CTE programs and resources complement programs that departments, colleges, and other entities offer. The goal of CTE is to help new faculty to:
- socialize and network with other faculty;
- access important information, resources, and skills to improve their capacity for success;
- become familiar with IUP’s key policies and procedures related to teaching and advising; and
- advance the mission, values, and goals of the university, including its focus on student success.
