Newly hired faculty members invited to join New Faculty Institute
Join the New Faculty Institute for its first event of the spring 2024 semester, Mocktail Happy Hour, from 4-5:30 p.m. Tuesday, Jan. 30, at JP's Union Station. This is an informal, come-and-go event.
Signature mocktails and light refreshments will be provided. For those of you not celebrating Dry January, JP's bar will be open with libations for purchase. You are encouraged to invite a colleague from your department as a plus-one guest. Use this as an opportunity to get to know a veteran K-State colleague and mingle with faculty from other departments across campus.
New faculty who are in their first, second or third year at K-State are invited to join the New Faculty Institute.
The New Faculty Institute is a universitywide program hosted by the Teaching and Learning Center to introduce newly hired faculty to K-State's missions of teaching, research and service. The institute provides networking and professional development opportunities to assist new faculty in becoming successful educators and researchers at K-State.
The New Faculty Institute will help participants:
- Make contact, establish relationships and initiate a professional network with peers and established faculty.
- Become knowledgeable about K-State.
- Develop a sense of belonging to the K-State community.
- Take steps toward successful involvement in K-State's missions of teaching, research and service.
- Become proactive participants in a lifelong professional development process.
