Faculty Introductions
We do a faculty intro in our department orientation in which each instructor introduces themselves and tells the new students a little about their qualifications, education, and hobbies.
Great idea! We take it a bit further, on the first day of classes in addition to the instructors giving a synopsis of themselves, each student makes an introduction, what made them choose that particular career and school, interests and personal goals.
We start introducing our new students to faculty as soon as possible. Some students have even met a couple of the full time instructors during their admissions tour. That is then reinforced with our Orientation before the first day of school with a demo led by one or two of the instructors for each program.
