New Employee Orientation Part 1
New Employee Orientation is the best way for newcomers to Northwestern to get to know the University. You learn what you need to know to begin working here, develop appreciation for the excellence of the Northwestern community, and familiarize yourself with the University's many resources.
We will talk about how Northwestern started and where we are today, the NU environment, and all the perks that employees receive. Benefits counselors will discuss health, retirement and tuition benefits, answer questions, and help you select the coverage you need. This is the fastest and easiest way for you to access information about your specific benefits needs and make the necessary selections to ensure your coverage begins as soon as possible. This session is designed for staff members, and faculty members are welcome to attend, particularly for information on employment benefits, which are covered from 1:30 to 4:00p.m. Spouses and domestic partners of staff members are also welcome to attend the benefits portion of orientation. For more information, please call us at 847-491-7459.
New Employee Orientation Part 1 is held every week (usually on Wednesday), from 10a.m. to 4p.m., alternating between the Evanston Campus and the Chicago Campus.
Sessions in Evanston are held at the Norris Student Center (MAP), Hardin Hall in the lower level of the Rebecca Crown Center (MAP), Chambers Hall in the lower level of the Transportation Center (MAP), or Parkes Hall (MAP).
Sessions in Chicago are held in Wieboldt Hall at 339 E. Chicago Avenue (MAP).
No registration is required for New Employee Orientation Part 1.
Please bring your Benefits Packet with you to Orientation. |

HRD450 - New Employee Orientation Part 2
New Employee Orientation Part 2 is an important part of the on-boarding process with the University. This free, interactive event will give new employees an opportunity to hear from a Northwestern senior leader about where the University is today and where we are headed. New employees will get to participate in valuable workshops about NU's "Standards for Business Conduct" (the University's major policies and procedures, including the prevention of discrimination and harassment) and NU's "Performance Excellence" process (for good goal setting and communication). New employees will also have an opportunity to talk with other new NU colleagues during a network-building lunch. Seating is limited and pre-registration is required for the entire day. Staff are encouraged to attend two to four months after hiring. Please plan to attend NEO Part 2 after you have attended NEO Part 1.
