New staff orientation has been redesigned to ensure new hires get the right learning material in ways that are best suited to applying it on the job. There will be separate sessions for University Central and Medical Center staff to accommodate the unique needs and requirements of both organizations.

Medical Center-specific updates
Beginning July 1:
Beginning July 1, the facilitated program is moving to a single half-day session with an “open house” during the second half day to cover for specialized or elective information. The in-person session includes the most important content from both of our current introductory sessions (You Make a Difference and It’s Who We Are). Classroom orientation events will be held each week from 8 a.m.-12:30 p.m., with time after to complete compliance items, get ID badges and ask questions about VUPD, VUIT, Health & Wellness and benefits programs.
· For July only, new staff orientation will be held on Tuesdays. Orientation should be Medical center staff’s first day of work.
