New Faculty Orientation – Fall 2024

Welcome to Bellevue College!

Faculty attending the New Faculty Orientation

If you are an adjunct faculty member, please contact Taylor Dalrymple for more information about the upcoming Orientation. He is the Adjunct Support Lead in the Faculty Commons.

If you are a new tenure-track faculty, please email Leslie Lum. She is the Tenure Mentoring Lead in the Faculty Commons.

The general orientation is designed and developed for new faculty at Bellevue College with four main goals in mind – to provide new faculty with the following:

  • essential information related to instruction needed before the quarter starts
  • information about campus resources that support both faculty and students
  • opportunities to interact with other faculty members
  • insights into the culture and the organizational structure of the college

There is an option for new adjunct faculty to attend a 30-minute meeting with the Faculty Union (BCAHE) after the Orientation.

Tenure-track faculty will continue after the general orientation to learn more about the tenure process and receive the following:

  • timely information about the tenure process
  • an opportunity to connect with their mentor
