CETL Onboarding Process
When a new faculty member is hired, Human Resources (HR) sends an automated email to the Center for Excellence in Teaching and Learning (CETL).
- Within 24 hours of receipt of this information from HR, CETL emails the new faculty member a welcome message with information about CETL’s purpose, location, hours, and an invitation to pick up their welcome packet. This email also includes details about the Introduction to Teaching @ Reynolds course and The Reynolds Faculty Hub and advises consulting their dean regarding any certification requirements.
- Once the Department of Technology (DOT) has created all necessary accounts for the faculty member, they are loaded into both the Introduction to Teaching at Reynolds course and The Reynolds Faculty Hub.
- Within one week, the CETL director personally calls to welcome them.
- After two weeks, a reminder email is sent to check on their progress and highlight CETL services.
- A follow-up email is sent at the end of the semester to ensure they are settling in well.
