August New Faculty Orientation

Welcome to Texas Tech University! The Teaching, Learning, and Professional Development Center is pleased to host Texas Tech University's New Faculty Orientation. This process is designed to help you make a smooth transition into your faculty role, and there are several important components of this program.

If you are a department administrator, please fill out this form for each new faculty member in your area. (This form will open in April, 2024).

The first components of New Faculty Orientation begin with online resources and compliance training videos. You will be receiving additional information about these resources via email.

On Tuesday, August 20, 2024 at the Museum of Texas Tech University, the TLPDC in conjunction with the Office of the Provost will host the face-to-face portion of New Faculty Orientation. Please note that this day is mandatory for all new faculty, including tenure and non-tenure track. This orientation represents a very important opportunity for you to become acquainted with information about the university and network with new colleagues from across campus. 

  • New faculty members whose point of duty is in Lubbock should plan to attend mandatory New Faculty Orientation in the face-to-face format at the Museum of Texas Tech. 
  • New faculty members whose point of duty is not in Lubbock will be given a remote option for this mandatory portion of New Faculty Orientation. 

Registration for New Faculty Orientation will open in April, 2024.

The fall workshop series is the final requirement you will need to complete in the New Faculty Orientation process. This workshop series will offer topics of interest to new faculty representing resources and departments from around the university. New faculty will need to attend a minimum of 3 workshops at the TLPDC. Our fall agenda is still in progress, and you can find the list on our events page.
