New faculty members at Queen카지노 게임 컬렉션s participated in a pan-university orientation session on Thursday, Aug, 22, providing them with the tools and information they need to settle in and succeed as they begin the next stage of their careers.
The close to 60 attendees heard from administrators, staff, and fellow faculty members through a series of interactive activities, presentations, panel discussion, and question-and-answer periods, introducing them to the many resources that are made available by the university.
Sponsored by the Office of the Provost and the Faculty Recruitment and Support Program in the Faculty Relations Unit the orientation session is also an important opportunity for networking and making new connections from across the university community.

Faculty Renewal
Queen카지노 게임 컬렉션s 카지노게임사이트 has identified faculty renewal as a high priority in support of the academic mission. The five-year renewal plan, launched in 2017, will see 200 new faculty members hired, which nearly doubles the hiring pace of the previous six years.
Faculty renewal supports Queen카지노 게임 컬렉션s commitment to diversity and inclusion by giving the university the opportunity to seek, proactively, representation from equity-seeking groups such as women, people with disabilities, Indigenous Peoples, and racialized individuals. It will also build on Queen카지노 게임 컬렉션s current areas of research strength.
More information for faculty members is available on the Faculty Relations Office website.
