Mentoring

ORION [ORIentation & ONboarding]

ORION stands for Orientation and Onboarding. It is a program offered to all new faculty, regardless of appointment type. ORION begins with orientation to KATIE, our Moodle Learning Management System in mid-August. It continues with a one-day orientation session in late August.

The New Faculty Group will meet every other week to discuss teaching and learning at Luther College, to talk about how things are going, and to learn about how various college offices and processes operate. All new faculty are encouraged to participate, and new tenure-line faculty and all new faculty with contracts renewable for three or more years are required to do so. We also invite second and third-year faculty, so it is a chance to meet colleagues outside of your department.
