FAQs
How does the academic orientation event relate to other school orientation activities?
What if I am unable to attend an academic orientation?
The events are held twice a year and faculty who are unable to attend should keep an eye out for future announcements in the Office of Faculty Academic Affairs newsletter or email the team at dellmedfacultyaffairs@austin.utexas.edu.
What is the benefit to attending the second orientation session in March 2025?
After the first session, participants will have roughly 4 months to try putting their CV into the Dell Med format required for promotion review without the stressors and deadlines that come with preparing your CV for promotion at the time of promotion. At the spring session we will provide a low-stakes environment for faculty to ask questions about the format and examples of achievement for various tracks and series available for promotion at Dell Med.
