Faculty Onboarding and Navigational Support
Part of our mission to help new faculty of all ranks settle in, build networks, and establish a strong foundation for longer-term success. Below is a list of synchronous and asynchronous resources available to new faculty at Montclair, offered by the OFE and our colleagues within the Academic Affairs division to ensure new faculty's successful integration and thriving in their new roles. Note that some of these resources are tailored to meet the unique needs of full-time and adjunct faculty, while others will be helpful to all faculty.
On-Demand Resources

A collection of must-know information that will be helpful to new and veteran instructors.

Adjunct Orientation
All new adjunct instructors are required to attend a 75-minute online orientation provided by OFE in collaboration with the Montclair Adjunct Union. This orientation covers the essential details of working and teaching at Montclair.
New Faculty Program
The New Faculty Program uses a proactive approach to quickly and thoroughly integrate new faculty into the campus community. The program orients new faculty to the University's culture, helps establish cross-disciplinary collegiality within the new faculty cohort, and provides a clear understanding of the University's expectations for faculty.
