New Faculty Orientation

The Faculty Center is excited to welcome new faculty to Georgia Southern University. At our annual New Faculty Orientation, we look forward to sharing how the Faculty Center and other areas across Georgia Southern support faculty in developing their professional growth, achieving excellence and discovering their community. Multiple activities for new faculty are offered during New Faculty Orientation.

Participants will experience a warm welcome to the GS culture and be able to identify resources and departments at GS that support faculty expectations of teaching, research, service and student success.
