New Faculty Orientation & Development
New Faculty Orientation and Development (NFOD) begins with a two-day on-campus event where new full- and part-time instructors are introduced to UNC, meet with the president and provost, build community, and engage in discussions about teaching practice. This is followed by a year-long series of programming designed to support faculty in their work as reflective and reflexive teachers and scholars.
The goals of New Faculty Orientation & Development are to:
- Welcome new faculty to the UNC Community
- Engage new faculty in discussions about teaching excellence
- Provide new faculty with information about campus policies
- Inform new faculty about campus services
These goals are achieved through the following activities:
- Discussions about UNC’s students and values
- Discussions with UNC’s provost and president
- Teaching workshops led by experienced UNC faculty
- Informational sessions related to campus policies and services
- Campus tour
- Community building event
