New Staff Orientation Event

Welcome to the University of Alberta! This one day session is open to all new faculty and staff members.

At Orientation, you will have the opportunity to learn about the University of Alberta and network with other people who are part of the campus community. While supervisors are responsible for inducting you into your immediate work area, this general orientation session addresses the organization as a whole. You will receive an overview of the University's mission and structure along with information on essential contacts, services and programs.

The New Staff Orientation experience includes speakers, activities, food, networking and FUN! It is a full day event in Lister Conference Centre with breakfast, lunch and refreshments provided.

What are people saying about The New Staff Orientation event?

"I was very impressed with the presenters' focus on the vision of the University and their commitment to inclusion and excellence. I was also impressed by the number of associations who participated in the Information Marketplace and who had so much helpful and relevant information for us."

"Even as a former-student of the U of A, I found the walking tour really useful because it showed me where new buildings were. It was also a great opportunity to interact with other new staff members (and make friends!)."

"Very much appreciate having such an array of senior people take time out of their schedules to personally deliver their messages. This demonstrates the importance they place on both the message content and on the people who are joining the U of A team."

"To hear the corporate vision and culture described particularly by leaders confirmed for me that this institution is a good fit for me. I very much appreciate that those is high level leadership positions attend the orientation, speaks volumes and I'm now more excited than ever to be working here."
