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.
