New Faculty Institute

The New Faculty Institute (NFI) seeks to provide new faculty with resources and activities that promote their sense of community, their institutional knowledge, and a foundation in pedagogy and practices that support equity and student success. Participants meet on a monthly basis as part of a year-long institute facilitated by the Professional Development Faculty Coordinator and supported by guest speakers from across campus. 

Goals

  • Support new faculty with resources and community​
  • Provide new faculty with the institutional knowledge they need to
    fulfill their roles, contribute to institutional priorities, and become
    future campus leaders​
  • Provide a foundation in evidence-based, culturally-responsive
    pedagogy and practices
