New Faculty Institute

 

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.

The NFI will offer information, networking, and professional development. NFI participants first meet at the New Faculty-Staff Orientation during August, and then at four sessions each semester during the academic year.

Goals and Outcomes

NFI facilitates the transition of newly-hired faculty members into the K-State academic environment by providing information and tools, helping the new faculty become successful as educators and researchers at Kansas State University.

Participants of the K-State New Faculty Institute will:

• Make contact, establish relationships, and initiate a professional network with peers and established faculty;
• Become knowledgeable about Kansas State University;
• Develop a sense of belonging to the K-State university community;
• Take steps toward successful involvement in K-State's missions of teaching, research, and service; and
• Become proactive participants in a life-long professional development process.
