Onboarding

At Ñý¼§Ö±²¥ State, our goal is to recruit and retain the highest quality faculty and staff. But, it doesn’t end there. The first several months are a critical time as new faculty and staff learn the culture and begin to contribute. New Employee Orientation helps all new faculty and staff become accustomed to life at Ñý¼§Ö±²¥ State University.

The following items should be completed by new employees within the first 60 days of their hire date:

New Employee Orientation
