MU Extension Faculty Orientation
Welcome to University of Missouri Extension!  We're pleased that you have joined our team, and we look forward to working with you.

Our new faculty development process is designed to prepare you for successful employment with University of Missouri Extension.  Because we want you to get off to a good start in your career with us, our office will be working with you to assure that you understand your assignment and feel comfortable in your new position.  Your Regional Director has also appointed a support team for you to help you make the transition.

New faculty development offers numerous opportunities to learn about the job, to hone your technical and teaching skills, to learn about resources available to you, and to develop supportive relationships to help you become successful. It extends over a two year period --- a window of opportunity for you to develop your confidence as an Extension specialist. During that time you and your Regional Director will determine your training needs and he/she will advise you about the various aspects of our orientation program.

In the meantime, please use this website to learn more about the new faculty development process, to answer your questions, and to develop your knowledge of MU Extension. The links we have developed are designed to meet your needs. Our new faculty development staff are here to assist you also. Please contact us at anytime with questions, suggestions, and your ideas. We value your input.
