Abstract:
A prospective faculty member, after the usual routine, locates in a community, school starts, and he steps into the role of new faculty as best he can. Sometimes the adjustment is simple; other times it is not so simple. The difference between becoming a successful faculty member, a mediocre one, or a flat failure is often dependent on how well he has been able to adjust himself to the educational community in which he finds himself. The problem of helping new faculty members was one that was recognized by the academic deans of Southeastern Louisiana College, particularly after the announcement was made that approximately 40 new persons were to be added to the teaching staff for the session 1964-65. Southeastern is divided into three academic divisions with a dean as head of each one. During the summer of 1961 a series of planning meetings was conducted by the deans for the purpose of formulating an orientation program for the early part of the scholastic year.
