Harvard new ladder faculty are warmly invited to the University-wide New Ladder Faculty Institute.

This half-day event is designed to give you an opportunity to meet the other new faculty from all across Harvard and to introduce you to the numerous resources available to you throughout the University. We will have a panel of distinguished faculty who will share their perspectives on how to approach scholarly work and effectively contribute to your department, the University, and your field(s).

Following the New Faculty Institute, you and your spouse/partner are invited to attend a reception. This will provide an opportunity to meet other new and current ladder faculty across all of Harvard and for spouses/partners to meet one another.
