Description
Come join us on Wednesday, March 2, at 1:00 p.m. for an online information session in Microsoft Teams. Representatives from the Centre for Teaching Excellence (CTE) and the Faculty Association (FAUW) will be there to share information and answer questions about starting your career at UW.
Monica Vesely, your new faculty contact at the Centre for Teaching Excellence, will introduce you to the supports and resources at CTE and how you can connect with the people and information you are looking for. FAUW President Lori Curtis and Communications Officer Laura McDonald will explain how FAUW represents and protects faculty, introduce its services and resources, and share how you can play a role.
In preparation for this live event, we invite you to review the information from Past Sessions in the New Faculty Orientation site on LEARN. These pages provide an overview of a series of workshops and interactive online sessions that took place in August and September of 2021 and will provide you with core teaching development programming along with an introduction to our institution. The pages contain access to recordings of the live sessions along with links to key resources.
Please email Laura McDonald (laura.mcdonald@uwaterloo.ca) or Monica Vesely (mvesely@uwaterloo.ca) if you did not receive an invitation or cannot find the meeting link in LEARN.
