Orientation
Orientation brings together new academic and general staff for an introduction to the culture, values, structure and governance of the University of Sydney. Our aim is to deliver a program that is timely, relevant and inspiring, and which assists new staff to understand their roles in relation to the overall strategy of the University.
Orientation is university-wide and is designed to complement a local induction. It aims to support new staff during their first year of employment and consists of:
- Orientation seminar
- an Information fair
- a Heritage tour
Feedback from our participants
"I liked that all facets of the university life were included (i.e. academics, general staff and students). It is always good to encourage new work connections and gain an understanding of others' roles and responsibilities. Thank you for your enthusiasm and professionalism in presenting today's session. All trainers/presenters were fantastic." (April 2010)
