Faculty Development
Welcome to the University of Kentucky!
It is a pleasure to welcome you and introduce you to UK’s New Faculty Development (NFD) series. The purpose of the new faculty development series is to introduce newly hired faculty members to UK’s missions of teaching, research, and engagement, and to facilitate their successful involvement in those missions. The NFD provides an opportunity for new members of our faculty to familiarize themselves with UK’s academic environment.
Participants will meet at the New Faculty Orientation next week, and then at various times during the academic year. The development series offers conversational forums where new faculty members can discuss issues ranging from class management, research development, to promotion and tenure. We hope these conversations will create the opportunity for you to develop long-lasting friendships with your faculty colleagues.
