Please let your On-Boarding Buddy know ASAP!
On-Boarding is what we call our process to integrate new employees into the department, University, and Tucson. This includes Human Resource processes, departmental orientation, training, and creating a foundation for success. Information will be shared in the coming weeks as we approach your arrival date.
Apart of our on-boarding experience, we provide a new employee with a returning employee, typically another live-in staff member, to assist with questions, move-in, and navigating the first few weeks of employment. We refer to this person as your "Buddy." You will spend ample amount of time with your buddy throughout training and the year. Some of this time will be structured and some will not. Your buddy's contact information can be found below. You can expect an email from them introducing themselves in the coming days/weeks. Feel free to reach out to them or the Committee Chairs in the meantime!
Res Ed training is coordinated by a variety of staff in the department with no set committee chair. For any training questions before your arrival, please reach out to Nat at nsabinsky@arizona.edu
We're so excited for you to call UArizona and Colonia de La Paz your new home!
