New Faculty Orientation
Inver Hills Community College and Dakota County Technical College both offer full-day orientations for new full- and part-time faculty. Orientation days are held every August, about a week prior to the official start of fall semester. Shorter half-day orientations are held in January for faculty who either start mid-year or could not attend in the fall.
Orientation sessions include a welcome and conversation with the college president and provost; human resources and union information; and an introduction to technology and teaching and learning.
At IHCC, contact coordinator Erica Wood, Geology faculty, for more information about this opportunity. At DCTC, contact coordinator Fran Kennedy, Director of Teaching and Learning.
