The 2023-2024 New Academic Faculty Academy (NAFA) Opening Session will take place Wednesday, September 20th and Thursday, September 21st (details below).

In fall 2023, the Office of Faculty Affairs will offer a new year-long orientation program for full-time tenure-track and fixed-term academic faculty called the New Academic Faculty Academy (NAFA). The opening session will orient new faculty to key university resources and supports, introduce them to leaders and support units, and connect them with a network of peers. Year-long NAFA events and professional development opportunities will be co-constructed with faculty and offered throughout the 23-24 academic year.
