Orientation Update:
The last staff new hire orientation for the 2024 calendar year will be held on Friday, December 6.
Also, please note that orientation will not be held on November 29 due to the Thanksgiving holiday.
Recruitment activities may continue in the month of December, but start dates must be scheduled in January or beyond. This will accommodate a successful year-end transition for pay and benefits.
For future planning, and to provide a consistent onboarding schedule each year, the last orientation session of each calendar year will be the first Friday in December and will resume on the first working Friday of the new year.
The regular orientation schedule will resume on Friday, January 3, 2025.

Orientation at Tulane is the initial phase of the hiring process, designed to provide new employees with essential information about the university, Tulane's mission, vision, and values, and the overall organizational structure.
