This program will include both an in-person Eugene cohort and a remote cohort for Portland faculty, if interest exists.
The UO New Faculty Success Program meets monthly October-May. The program offers the opportunity to build relationships with other new faculty while also getting your questions answered by seasoned faculty panelists and facilitators. Participants will engage the NCFDD core curriculum webinar series to complement panel discussions about best practices for success as a faculty at UO.
Applications due October 1. Specific program dates are listed below. If you are interested in joining this program mid-way through the year, please email OtP@uoregon.edu.
Every month the UO New Faculty Success Program will meet to:
- Personally connect with a small group of new faculty
- Discuss the content of the assigned NCFDD core curriculum webinar
- Interact with a faculty panel on issues specific to UO
For questions about this program, or other support for new faculty, please contact the Office of the Provost at OtP@uoregon.edu.
