The New Hires Institute is a year-long, equity-centered onboarding program designed to welcome new employees (Classified Professionals, Faculty, and Supervisors) to the City College community by providing opportunities to learn about our campus- its mission, culture, structure, policies, services, and, most importantly, our students and the roles we have in helping them succeed.
Components
The program consists of the following:
- Two-hour, bi-monthly meetings (see Schedule below for dates and times)
- Online course in Canvas
- There will be readings, and non-graded/non-mandatory reflection assignments after
each meeting to help reinforce the information shared by the presenters. There will
also be place for resources, as well as discussion forums where members of the Institute
can ask/answer questions and share information.
