Orientation

An employee orientation is held the last Friday of each month (except July and December). This is a great opportunity to learn more about the university, as well as meet other new employees.

Register online for an orientation session, or call 494-1115 to find out when the next one will be scheduled. If you are a new faculty member, you can also register to attend the New Academic Staff Orientation.

As an employee, there are many ways to keep informed of university news, events, and lectures.

• Dal News is the central hub for campus information.
• MyDal is an internal portal (log in using your NetID and password) that provides faculty, staff, and students personalized information such as email, calendar, and targeted announcements.
• Notice Digest, the university’s daily electronic bulletin, is delivered to your email inbox when you sign up.
