New Faculty Orientation & Mentoring Program
New faculty Orientation Program
Held each August, the new faculty orientation program provides an introduction to the GCSU culture, faculty roles and responsibilities, and institutional expectations in the areas of teaching, research, and service and also provides an opportunity to build social and professional networks through interaction and information exchange with colleagues, students, key contacts, and resource people across campus.
New Faculty Mentoring Program
This faculty designed, year-long program helps new members become acclimated to GCSU. Throughout the academic year, new faculty and their mentors meet to discuss teaching techniques and other issues. Through the new Faculty Mentoring Program, new faculty gain an understanding and appreciation of the institutional context, the expectations of faculty members, and the available resources to help faculty meet these expectations. Topics include the processes and standards for reappointment and tenure; advisement processes and strategies; teaching issues & strategies and university governance.
