New Hire Orientation
Welcome to Columbia Engineering and the beginning of your successful career. We encourage you to take full advantage of the many resources and services to help you acclimate to Columbia's amazing work and learning environment.
There are two New Hire Orientations conducted to better acclimate incoming staff: Central University New Hire Orientation and Columbia Engineering New Hire Orientation.
Central University New Hire Orientation
The Central Univeristy New Hire Orientation (NHO) will introduce you to the structure and culture of the University, as well as highlight key departments and resources to support you as faculty and staff. You will learn about your benefits and campus services, as well as have plenty of opportunities to ask questions. For more information and to register for the Central University New Hire Orientation, please visit Orientation & New Hire Info on the Central University Human Resources Website.
Columbia Engineering New Hire Orientation
Given the decentralized structure of Columbia University, we believe that it is important to help acclimate new hires at the school level. This formal welcome to the school will introduce you to the many resources available to you as a member of the SEAS community.
See the Columbia Engineering New Hire Orientation Presentation.

- Learn about SEAS unique history
