Faculty Onboarding Series: Introductions
The Faculty Onboarding Series: Introductions provides an opportunity for newly hired faculty members to meet other new faculty across the colleges and departments. Each session will highlight one or more key leaders and resources/services from varying colleges/departments/groups with the goal of supporting faculty success.
This series is designed to include eight one-hour virtual sessions over the course of one year. Think of these sessions as virtual Meet-and-Greet conversations!
Every six weeks, CFE will host a Zoom session that will provide new faculty with invaluable face-to-face conversations with leadership from varying colleges and departments here at UAMS. New faculty will be able to ask questions and receive direct feedback at these sessions. There will also be an opportunity receive valuable topical information directly from the sources and specifically focused on the perspective of new faculty.
We believe a robust onboarding program is linked with engagement, retention, and professional wellness. We also believe this will result in greater uptake in the utilization of resources available to support faculty and their career success.
