The Centre for Teaching Excellence (CTE) has programming for new faculty members, and the University asks that faculty undertake specific workshops to ready themselves for teaching Waterloo students.
The New Faculty Planning Committee (CTE, FAUW, and Human Resources) coordinates new faculty orientation days in September and January each year, as well as a new faculty and family dinner event in late September. All new faculty who've started since the previous September 1 or couldn't attend an earlier orientation are invited. If you do not receive an invitation by late August, please contact Laura McDonald.
Our Academic Freedom & Tenure Committee runs a workshop for new tenure-track faculty each year. We also hold new faculty socials a few times a year. Watch our events section and your email for announcements.
