Highlander Orientation Series

The new faculty orientation is designed for senate faculty members who are new to UCR. Faculty will hear from a host of campus administrators, faculty, and staff to familiarize them with the academic review process, UCR mission and vision, and to share the functions of the various departments on campus. This event also gives new faculty an opportunity to meet new colleagues from different disciplines. If you have any questions regarding the event, please send an email to academicpersonnel@ucr.edu.
