The Fall 2025 Faculty and Staff Kickoff will be held in the Hursey Center on Wednesday, Aug. 20, from 3 to 5 p.m. Reception-style refreshments will be served in the Stanley Black and Decker Commons with welcome remarks from President Ward.
New this year will be a Sabbatical Showcase, during which our faculty colleagues returning to campus will share their work in a gallery-style format. This is a great opportunity to see the wide-ranging expertise of our talented faculty.
Additionally, we welcome back the Faculty and Staff Affinity Networks to the Kickoff. The Affinity Networks share a common goal of building a welcoming and respectful community, and are a great way to connect with colleagues who share the same interests. Stop by to learn more about the different Affinity Networks and the events they host each year.
Please wear your nametag to facilitate conversation and connections. Write-in name tags will also be available. We look forward to seeing you there!
