NEW FACULTY PODCAST: ONLY FACULTY IN THE BUILDING
Our Office is excited to share a new initiative designed especially for new and early career faculty to introduce you to resources and people at UNC Charlotte who can help you be successful in your first few years at the institution.
The Podcast Series, “Only Faculty in the Building,” was developed with the knowledge that new faculty have a lot on their plates, beginning on Day 1, and that it can be difficult to prioritize professional development programming when you know you are going to be faced with a classroom full of expectant faces several times a week – don’t panic!
You can access the podcasts, which are only 15 – 20 minutes long, at a time that works for you – no need to schedule a time where you have to be in a certain place at a certain time!
We will be releasing podcasts throughout the semester, and each one has been designed to disseminate all the information you need about each office/resource efficiently in a casual conversational style.
We hope you enjoy learning about all the things we do to help you thrive and be successful here at UNC Charlotte.
