The OU Health Sciences New Faculty Onboarding (NFO) workshop series is your invitation to academic career orientation, tips, and strategies for a successful start. During the series we get you started with Health Sciences community connections — people, information, and resources you can engage to help shape your academic career path and early conversations with peers and your department leader.
Purpose:
New Faculty Onboarding focuses on faculty roles, responsibilities and opportunities. Each session helps you start sorting your objectives, activities, and priorities as a faculty member. Learn about academic career pathways, promotion, and tenure expectations, and opportunities for annual and longer-term success as a teacher, scholar, and leader while learning about resources to support you in your work.
