New Faculty Orientation
As new Bobcat faculty, we invite you to participate in our New Faculty Orientation (N.F.O.) program. This event is exclusively for benefits-eligible faculty (50%-100% FTE). Newly hired faculty, faculty who have not previously been eligible for TXST benefits, or faculty returning after an extended absence should plan to attend.
During this event, Human Resources will provide ways to help you familiarize yourself with TXST before, during, and after your first day as a Bobcat employee.
Below you'll find more details about each session and the registration form for N.F.O.
WHERE?
J.C. Kellam Administration Building (JCK), 11th Floor Ballroom.
WHEN?
Monday, August 18, 2025. 8:30 – 11:00 a.m.
Event check-in will begin at 8:00 a.m.
PARKING?
Links to order your virtual temporary parking permit will be included in the N.F.O. final reminder email, sent on August 15, 2025. These temporary permits will be valid for three weeks, expiring on September 5, 2025. After that date, you'll be able to log in to your Parking Services account to purchase your FY26 parking permit.
With your temporary permit, you can access red-restricted lots. Below is a list of the nearby, red-restricted parking garages/lots to use when attending your New Faculty Orientation:
- Parking at J.C. Kellam Moon (R9 Lot)
- Parking at J.C. Kellam Sessom (R10 Lot)
- Parking at State Street (R15 Lot)
Please Note: Temporary parking permits will not be available on the day of the event. Please ensure you have your virtual permit ordered prior to your arrival to avoid parking tickets.
