New Faculty Orientation
Each August and January, the Office of the Provost hosts New Faculty Orientation (NFO) to help arriving colleagues identify and make use of the many resources available to support their work, and to become familiar with UNM policies and processes. New faculty should consult the Office for Academic Personal New Faculty Page for first steps!
For all new faculty employed at the Albuquerque campus, the next orientation will be on Monday, August 11th, 2025, in Hodgin Hall. Check-in starts at 7:30am, and the orientation will begin promptly at 8:00am. This orientation session will be shared with all temporary and part-time faculty. Please plan for this to be an all-day event. Lunch will be served.
Faculty in these categories employed at UNM Branch Campuses should contact their corresponding branch Dean of Instruction for information on orientation. .
The agenda includes:
