The dean and your department chair or director serve as key resources and guides to new faculty. You should feel free to approach your dean, chair or director with any questions or concerns you may have about your role and responsibilities, the University鈥檚 expectations, tenure and promotion, policies and procedures, and career development opportunities.

Your dean, chair or director may designate a senior faculty member to advise you, but this is not a formal process in most academic units. Some new faculty have taken the initiative to seek out a senior colleague for advice when adjusting to the new environment. When setting your course outlines, you may also want to contact the instructors who have previously taught the course. In addition, your department or school should have previous course outlines on file.
