Overview

The Center for Inclusive Excellence offers a comprehensive range of orientation events for full-time and part-time faculty members. Our orientation sessions are designed to support and prepare you for success during your first year of teaching at Point Park.

In addition to our core orientation hosted prior to the start of the academic year, we offer additional orientation sessions throughout the semester. 

We understand that time constraints and other commitments may prevent you from attending certain orientation dates. In such cases, we encourage you to reach out to the CIE office at cie@pointpark.edu. Our team will assist you in obtaining any crucial materials relevant to the session you are unable to attend.
