New Faculty Cohort/Colleague Program

The Center for Teaching, Learning & Technology in conjunction with the office of the Provost, is pleased to coordinate a new faculty development program. The New Faculty Cohort/Colleague program (NFCC) provides a year long series of activities and events to assist new faculty as they settle into the MSU community.

What? Components of the NFCC Program include:

• Monthly lunch meetings or pizza sessions
• Web-based Forum for exchanging ideas, asking questions
• Discussion list for immediate communication with all participants
• Student interns available for assisting with faculty technology needs
• E-Mentors, consisting of previous year's cohort plus senior faculty participate in program
• Emphasis on using the technology - not hearing about it.

Why? To support our new faculty in developing:

• Knowledge of university systems and procedures
• Knowledge of instructional technology opportunities at Murray State
• Ability to model use of technology in the classroom and experience in using instructional technology tools
• A sense of connection to colleagues and to the university
