Dear WCU Faculty Class of 2011,

Welcome to West Chester University!

Each year, West Chester University welcomes a new class of highly trained, highly experienced, and highly motivated faculty to the campus. We, the New Faculty Orientation committee, have the honor and privilege of meeting and working with you prior to the start of the university semester. WCU is one of the top regional comprehensive public universities in the country. The WCU community consists of faculty, administrators, staff, and students, dedicated to furthering the mission of university, “providing access and offering high-quality undergraduate education, select post-baccalaureate and graduate programs, and a variety of educational and cultural resources for its students, alumni, and citizens of southeastern Pennsylvania.” The purpose of New Faculty Orientation is to introduce you to the WCU community and provide you the tools and resources to develop and maintain a successful academic career and help further the mission of WCU.

New Faculty Orientation will occur August 16-18, 2011 at West Chester University. We have planned various orientation activities that will provide you information on many components of university life including the following: WCU’s Plan for Excellence, Our Students, Social Equity, Technology Resources, Faculty Evaluation Process, Effective Teaching, Library Resources, Faculty Resources, Academic Student Support, and Human Resources.

Feel free to explore this website and www.wcupa.edu prior to attending New Faculty Orientation. We look forward to meeting you in August and answering any questions you might have!

Sincerely,

The New Faculty Orientation Committee
