The NFO is a physical orientation as well as an online self-guided platform and resource for new faculty.

Each semester, the IFE publishes a list of faculty activities such as workshops on technical and pedagogical subjects, pilot groups, and other faculty events. The publications of these events can be found on the MyCC CELT page, and physically at all campuses.  All faculty are encouraged to participate and may be eligible to earn points toward a stipend.
