New Faculty and Academic Staff Orientation

The orientation program aims to familiarize you with our university, its values, and its expectations. It also offers an opportunity to connect with campus leaders and access valuable resources. To get started, please refer to the
New Academics Checklist, which will guide you through the initial steps of your transition.

Attending New Faculty and Academic Staff Orientation is expected for all full-time academics contracted for 90% time or more for two or more semesters. This includes tenure-system faculty, librarians, health programs faculty, FRIB/NSCL faculty, fixed-term and teaching-focused faculty, and senior research associates. Others in these roles at reduced appointment levels are invited, but not required to attend.

Invitations for this orientation will go out in mid July.  If you are a new academic and do not receive a personal invitation, please contact your department or contact the Office of Faculty and Academic Staff Development at
OFASD@msu.edu.
