Welcome Events

Get to know Western

To help orient you to campus and your new role, we offer several events during the first part of the academic year. New Faculty Orientation is held annually in September. NFO is full of the key information you need to get started at Western and the resources we provide to help you thrive on our campus. If you are starting with us during a different part of the year, there are other opportunities to connect and engage with our community.

Welcome, and we look forward to working together!
