Today’s college students are on a journey to grow knowledge, skills, and competence in the profession of their dreams. The landscape of the learning environment requires faculty to adjust their teaching styles as students respond to changes in societal norms. Creating a curriculum to meet the needs of multiple learning styles and a diverse student population must include various teaching methods. In addition to developing new teaching methods, it is essential to consider the growing cultural profile of our nation.

NSU’s Learning and Educational Center is excited to announce the following series of faculty professional development sessions, “Teaching and Learning Classic Rewind.” Just like your favorite music classics, we’re bringing back a series of conference presentations that have timeless wisdom, relevance, and inspiration!

The journey to engaged, excellent teaching requires support and preparation for those doing the teaching! In this session, we describe a college Faculty Onboarding Program we developed in 2023 to introduce our new faculty to NSU and provide them with the resources and information needed to succeed in their new role—driven by the belief that effective onboarding will lead to higher job satisfaction, better job performance, greater organizational commitment, and reduction in stress. Informed by feedback from recently hired faculty, we identified support strategies to help new faculty thrive by proactively removing barriers and minimizing guesswork, rather than fixing issues in a reactive fashion.

Though many students seek graduate degrees to increase their level of employability and career opportunities within the workforce, the earned degree alone is not always sufficient for them to obtain employment or promotions post-graduation.
