New faculty

The Working Group on Sexual and Gender Diversity is hosting a follow-up to the last term's lunch event in the form of an informal drop-in coffee event for LGBTQ2S+ faculty and staff, including postdoctoral researchers, sessional instructors, research professors, and other employee groups at UW!

This is a drop-in, so don't feel pressured to be there for the whole time, but feel free to come when you can, grab some coffee, and hopefully meet some new people! Coffee should be arriving shortly after 2:00 p.m.

FAUW runs a series of workshops each year to help faculty through key transitions in their academic career. This session is for faculty recently hired for their first probationary term and will cover the requirements and some advice for probationary renewal.

The Faculty Association of University of Waterloo (FAUW), the University of Waterloo Staff Association (UWSA), the Renison Association of Academic Staff (RAAS), and the St. Jerome's University Academic Staff Association (SJU-ASA) invite Indigenous employees of University of Waterloo and the Affiliated and Federated Institutions of Waterloo to lunch on us Monday, February 24, at noon in Hagey Hall 373. 

On January 31, the Centre for Teaching Excellence (CTE) is hosting its winter term New Faculty Teaching Day on Friday, January 31. This day is intended for those new faculty members who arrived after (or missed) the August Teaching Orientation Days and features three of the four core CTE workshops for new faculty.

Drop by to meet other lecturers from across campus at the Grad House on January 22 between 3:30 and 5:30 p.m

We have a growing range of opportunities to get involved with FAUW, including our Board of Directors and a number of committees and working groups. This session will give you a sense of what's involved, what we’re looking for, and how to join.

Join the Lecturers Committee for an update on key issues affecting lecturers and a chance to voice your concerns.
