About 30 fast-talking new faculty members had the opportunity to share their research projects and interests on Wednesday.
The event, part of the 2018 New Faculty Orientation, was hosted at the Freed Orman Commons and allowed the new faculty members to discuss their research in one-minute “elevator pitches.”
It's the second year new faculty have had the opportunity to share their research in this forum.
Many commented after the event that it provided a great opportunity to learn about other areas of research and paved the way for future collaborations.
The orientation program to welcome instructors continues with a campus community fair offering them information on services.
