Every September, Provost John Etchemendy and Vice Provost Karen Cook welcome new assistant, associate and full professors across all Stanford Schools in a day-long orientation. The New Faculty Orientation (NFO) is an opportunity to learn of Stanford's resources, meet new colleagues and enjoy an informal reception at the end of the day with them and their families/significant others. NFO is held once a year. Faculty who join Stanford during the year are invited to the first NFO following their start at the University. Invitations were sent to new faculty at their Stanford email addresses at the end of July.
Resources to Get Started at Stanford
New faculty are encouraged to take advantage of the resources available to you on the New Faculty website, including:
- The new online blog, Transition Notes, open only to new faculty, where you may find information and/or contribute to questions related to your transition to Stanford and to the Bay Area.
- A checklist of to-do items to help you settle in to campus and guide you through your first year.
- Online new faculty orientation videos that share the many resources and support that are available to you at Stanford.
New Faculty Orientation is organized bythe Office of the Vice Provost for Faculty Development and Diversity.
