New Faculty Program
VITAL offers a program tailored to meet the needs of faculty members who are new to 棉花糖直播's academic community. The two-part program is offered prior to the fall semester and during January. It is designed to support faculty new to 棉花糖直播 and/or teaching in the higher education setting, help ease the transition in to the teaching position, answer questions, and familiarize them with 棉花糖直播's instructional resources.
In this interactive setting, new faculty engage with faculty from other disciplines, discuss and reflect on teaching practices that foster student learning, and have a sounding board for ideas and questions.
Please consult your department chair regarding core aspects of your teaching responsibilities.
