Extended Orientation

           In an effort to provide our new full-time faculty as well as our new full and part-time staff with a better orientation to the institution and an opportunity to integrate more fully into the college community, our orientation program has been restructured beginning in Fall 2007. It is composed of five parts, spread out over several months. Personnel hired during the spring and summer  terms are part of the fall cohort. Those hired after the beginning of fall semester will be part of the spring cohort. The scheduled sessions for Fall 2007 are as follows:
