The MIT Office of the Provost sponsors an orientation for new faculty during the week before the start of each new academic year. This one-day event features an overview of MIT, and a broad introduction to some of the teaching, research, and administrative enterprises of the Institute. Traditionally, the President, Provost, and Chancellor are all involved in the day's program, and the event is hosted by the Chair of the Faculty. Much of the program typically involves a series of small panels in which MIT faculty members discuss and provide guidance related to different aspects of the faculty experience, allowing plenty of time for questions or for discussion between the panelists and the new faculty members in attendance.
This year's New Faculty Orientation was held on September 2, 2009, and new faculty for 2009-2010 were contacted over the preceding summer with more information. View agenda.
Please note:
A Teaching Orientation for new faculty conducted by the Teaching and
Learning Laboratory (TLL) was held Tuesday, September 1st. Times and
Locations varied according to the School in which your appointment is
based. These events focused on course design and classroom strategies
which best support student learning. For full agendas, please visit:
