New Faculty Orientation was held on September 18. This event was designed to welcome faculty to the UO community, share the university's strategic objectives, and discuss key issues related to excellence in both teaching and research. New faculty members were introduced to their new academic home, while getting a sense of the UO's priorities and the resources available to help them on the path to success.
Slide decks from the day's event are posted below.
