New faculty members are also required to attend New Employee Orientation organized by University Human Resources on August 4, 2025, 8:30 AM-3:15 PM.
Welcome to the University of Maryland! We are delighted that you are joining our campus community. We are committed to creating the best possible environment for you to conduct your scholarship, to inspire students through teaching, and to serve your discipline, our campus, and global communities.
As part of your arrival on campus, all new faculty members are invited to attend New Faculty Orientation. This program is designed to integrate you into campus culture, and provide an overview of the policies, procedures, resources, and services available to you. You will hear from various members of the faculty, staff, and administration who will lead sessions and share experiences and insights to assist in your acclimation to the University.
The program will:
- Provide an introduction to the campus and community, including resources and services;
- Describe the expectations and responsibilities of faculty;
- Outline policies and procedures that guide faculty life;
- Orient faculty to their roles in teaching, research and service; and
- Familiarize faculty with mentoring and professional development opportunities.
We want to make your transition to campus as smooth as possible. Please explore the information and links to resources for new faculty on our website. If you have any questions, please reach out to let us know at 301.405.6803 or faculty@umd.edu. We look forward to meeting you at orientation and working with you throughout your career at Maryland!
