The New Faculty Orientation for the 2013-2014 Academic Year will be held Tuesday, August 20th, 2013 at the Steel Dynamics Keith E. Busse IPFW Alumni Center located at 1528 E California Rd. across from the Allen County War Memorial Coliseum and beside the Holiday Inn at IPFW.
Jumpstart for New Faculty will be held from August 13-15th. It is all-day Tuesday through Thursday. The hands-on workshop is designed to have you ready for the semester and prepared for your first week of class.
Duty Week begins August 19th and your orientation is a day-long affair on the 15th. The Jumpstart for New Faculty evolved from suggestions from new faculty last year because Duty Week is packed with meetings and such so you have little time to prepare to teach.
Jumpstart for New Faculty is voluntary but it is highly recommended for all new IPFW faculty, even if you have experience teaching. Be sure to take advantage of this remarkable opportunity!! We can accept a maximum of 20 reservations so you should RSVP quickly.
