New Employee Reception & Orientation (NERO)

Join us for the New Employee Reception & Orientation (NERO).

Register for NERO here.

We encourage new employees to attend NERO soon after being hired (Postdocs, Visiting Scholars, and Visiting Student Researchers should attend the New Affiliate Orientation virtual orientation on Zoom.) New employees will get an overview of resources available to staff, campus history, and an opportunity to connect with other newly hired colleagues.

An abridged powerpoint is available for your review in preparation for NERO.

We look forward to seeing you there!
