As a part of our New Faculty Seminar program, The Center for Teaching and Learning hosts sessions throughout the academic year designed to provide you with important information about the university. There are three sessions each semester, and new faculty are required to attend all of them. Please mark your calendar for these important events.
All sessions are accessible through the New Faculty Orientation Teams channel. If you are new and don’t have access to the channel, please contact Cody Sharp (sharpc@marshall.edu, 304-696-2206)
