New Faculty Welcome is JMU's new faculty orientation program, which will help you get started, connect with your new colleagues, and become oriented to the institution and its culture. Registration is required. Breakfast, lunch, and reception are included!
View the Faculty Welcome Week's programming for the week.
Note for new faculty: You must use your JMU eID and password through Okta to access the registration portal. If you don't have this access yet, you can wait until you get your access or walk in to register. It is recommended to register at least one week before the event date.
If you are unable to register in the system at this time, try to register again during the first or second week of August. You may also want to check with your AUH to ensure that your ePAR is fully approved in the system to obtain an active eID and email.
If this issue still persists, please email our office, and as a last resort you are welcome to walk in and sign in with the CFI team at New Faculty Welcome.
Parking information: Participants can park in Mason Street Parking Deck or Grace Street Parking Deck. While permits are not required, please park in standard, unmarked spaces.
