About the New Faculty Institute

Welcome to Kansas State University! K-State's New Faculty Institute (NFI) is a university-wide program to introduce newly hired faculty to our missions of teaching, research and service, and to facilitate their success at K-State. NFI will offer information, networking, training, and peer mentoring. NFI participants first meet at the New Faculty-Staff Orientation during August, and then at three regular sessions each semester during the academic year. All NFI sessions are hosted by university faculty leaders with expertise in the topic areas. For more information about NFI, visit the links on the right. Contact Dr. Keith Hohn or Dr. Victoria Clegg if you have any question

Participation

Most newly hired faculty members will be informed of the New Faculty Institute by their department heads. New faculty members who plan to participate in NFI events must register as participants.  You may register for the Institute during the New Faculty Institute Mixer at the New Faculty-Staff Orientation (Date TBD).

NFI is open only to new faculty members -- those who join the faculty any time in 2012. If you have questions about your eligibility, please contact Dr. Hohn or Dr. Clegg at nfi@k-state.edu.
