NOTE: Please sign up only for the events you plan to attend. Space is limited. The Office of the Provost is excited to present the second annual Faculty First Week, as we welcome faculty back to campus for the 2019-20 academic year. In addition to first-day college, school and university meetings, we are offering a variety of professional development sessions, faculty research presentations, free headshots from our university photographer, a field trip at Lake Thoreau, a start-of-the-year block party and more.
Please register for the individual events you plan to attend so we can manage venues for presentations, order refreshments and supplies, and track participation and feedback.
This session will address plans for the upcoming University Advisement Center, which will open to the first phase of first-year students in 2019-2020, expanding to all first-year students over the next three years. In this session we will discuss the mission of the Advisement Center, the duties of the Director and professional advisors, and the relationships between the Advisement Center and academic programs. A particular focus will be the complementary roles of professional advisors and faculty mentors in supporting students as they progress through college.
