Programs & Support: New Faculty Orientation

We are delighted to participate in a number of new faculty and graduate student orientations across the institution each year, from short presentations about the resources, programs, and support offered by CTE to more in-depth workshops across a range of topics.

Additionally, before the start of the fall semester we offer a pre-term workshop for faculty who are new to Mason.  The workshop, “Teaching at Mason: Strategies for Success,” is designed to help you learn more about Mason students, syllabus and course design, ensuring a smooth first day of class, strategies for facilitating students’ learning, classroom management, strategies for effective grading, and more.

Full-day workshop:
Thursday, August 20th from 9:00am-3:00pm in the Johnson Center, 3rd Floor Meeting Room G.  Lunch  will be provided for those who RSVP by Thursday, August 13th – Please indicate if you have special  dietary needs.

Half-day workshop:
If you cannot make it on the 14th, consider joining us for the abbreviated version.  The half-day workshop will take place Thursday, August 27th from 9:00am-12:00pm in Mason Hall, Room D3 A&B.
