This university-level orientation is meant for all newly hired faculty, librarians, clinical nursing instructors and clinical veterinary professionals of all ranks and tracks and complements orientation programming offered by your unit and Human Resources. Our event will take place over three afternoons--August 17,18, and 19, 2026 from  1:00 to 4:00 pm in the Teaching and Learning Centre --and will introduce you to several senior administrators, colleagues from a variety of teaching, research, and support units as well as the UPEIFA, our faculty union. Our orientation sessions will include background information, a review of key university policies, and tips to support faculty and student success to help your transition to UPEI be as smooth as possible.

New academic colleagues are invited to email the Teaching and Learning Centre at tlc@upei.ca for more information about the schedule.
