New Faculty Orientation

Through the Center of Teaching and Learning, EMCC offers a semester-long experience to new residential faculty in order to assist them in adjusting to their new positions, to ease anxiety, to share EMCC’s mission and the two-year college mission, and simply to form a cohort of colleagues with whom new faculty can relate and rely on for support.

The experience introduces new faculty to campus leaders and provides them with information and resources that will enhance both their teaching and their scholarship. Faculty are granted three credits of reassigned time for their participation which consists of weekly meetings during the fall semester.

This program started in 2002 and has evolved over the years with input from faculty, chairs, and administrators.
