New Faculty Orientation

Welcome New Faculty!

My name is Dr. Barbara A Clarke, and I warmly welcome you to the Spring 2025 New Faculty Orientation at Âé¶¹Ó°ÊÓ! Please plan to attend the New Faculty Orientation on Friday, January 31, 2024, at 9:00 a.m. via . An invitation will be sent to you via email. If you do not receive the invitation link, please see the link above to join or contact me so I can get you connected!  

In addition to attending the New Faculty Orientation, a New Faculty Orientation course has been designed for you in our Canvas learning management system (LMS).  The asynchronous Canvas course has modules highlighting the many departments and leaders on our campus. The course is designed to orient you to instructional competencies as a Âé¶¹Ó°ÊÓ Faculty member. A badge credential is provided upon successful completion of the orientation course. You either have or will receive an email invitation to join and start the course in Canvas.

As a member of the Organizational Development and Learning (ODL) team, I encourage you to consider attending the numerous faculty development sessions for your professional growth. The schedule of professional development (PD) opportunities can be found on the Center for Learning Excellence webpage. You will receive updates periodically throughout the year inviting you to participate and encouraging you to sign up for PDs you find of interest. We are a college dedicated to supporting the professional needs of all employees.

Of special note, adjunct faculty who attend at least two sessions on our official CLE Calendar receive the Adjunct Teaching Institute Stipend of $50, paid by our Âé¶¹Ó°ÊÓ Foundation. We will focus on topics aligned with the college’s strategic goals of institutional excellence, student success, and academic excellence, for example improving instruction, online teaching and culturally responsive classrooms.  

Âé¶¹Ó°ÊÓ faculty members consistently say our students are an exciting learner population. Our diverse population of students with varying perspectives and life experiences, enriches the experience of the entire Âé¶¹Ó°ÊÓ family. To meet the needs of our diverse student community, please review Âé¶¹Ó°ÊÓ’s Strategic Plan. Should you have questions about our Strategic Plan for serving each student under a One-College model, I encourage you to discuss it with your supervisor.  I am also available for any questions on professional development opportunities as a member of the ODL team.

Welcome to Âé¶¹Ó°ÊÓ!
