New Employee Orientation Day 1: January 2024

Welcome to the FLC Community!

1/11/2024, 8:30 AM - 2:00 PM | EBH 130, SOBA conference room

The two-day New Employee Campus Orientation is Thursday, January 11 from 8:30 a.m. - 2 p.m. and Friday, January 12 from 8:30 a.m. to noon. Lunch is provided on Day 1 and a light breakfast is provided on Day 2 of the orientation program. Registration is open! Please RSVP to the day/s you are able to attend below. Each day requires a separate registration for the catering order.

The orientation program was developed by the HR team as a part of our onboarding process. We recognize that there is so much to learn on a new job, not only about the work, but also about our culture and organizational procedures. We are committed to help new employees succeed in their new roles and desire to support them as much as possible.

The purpose of this orientation is to build community among new employees, to learn more about Fort Lewis College, and to learn from various departments about key essentials. 

Orientation presentations include: 

  • FLC History & Core Essentials
  • DEI Essentials
  • Admissions Overview
  • Marketing & Communications Overview
  • Title IX & Campus Security Essentials
  • IT & Help Desk Essentials
  • Budget & Purchasing Essentials
  • Student Housing
  • Alumni Engagement
  • Campus Involvement Opportunities
  • And More! 
  • Note: A delicious, relaxed complimentary lunch is included on Day 1 and a light breakfast is included on Day 2.

If you are unable to attend this month, you are welcome to participate in a future orientation date. Orientation is typically held in January, May, August, and October. We recognize that there may be employees hired in the past year or two who would benefit from this orientation, so as space allows, we invite anyone who would like to participate to register via the buttons below.

We greatly appreciate and encourage faculty and supervisors to support and prioritize this orientation for new employees. According to Human Resources Management Institute, formal onboarding increases the chance of keeping a new employee for at least 3 years by 69%. Feedback we received from previous participants conveyed that New Employee Orientation was "very much time well spent" and what they learned was "definitely helpful and immediately applicable."
