Sponsored by the Office of the Vice President for Research and the Office of the Chancellor, IU-Bloomington

September 12 and October 24, 2003


Registration is now closed. Thanks for your interest!


A workshop to welcome new and returning faculty members to the Bloomington campus and to help orient them to important offices, committees, and topics. The workshop will be held at the Indiana Memorial Union twice, on Friday, September 12 (Georgian Room) and Friday, October 24 (Frangipani Room).

Although the workshop is designed for new faculty members (including faculty members who joined IUB within the last two or three years), all faculty members are welcome to attend.
