HAAG currently lacks a consistent process for onboarding new faculty sponsors. There is no standard way to introduce them to HAAG, explain expectations, or orient them to how projects run. This leads to unclear roles and inconsistent first experiences for incoming faculty.
Design a standardized onboarding procedure that gives every new faculty sponsor a clear and consistent introduction to HAAG. Deliverables include an onboarding checklist, a welcome template, and a recommended onboarding timeline.
Review how new faculty sponsors have been introduced to HAAG in the past and talk with recently onboarded faculty about their first experiences.
If HAAG adopts a standardized onboarding procedure, new faculty sponsors will begin the semester with a clearer understanding of their role and a stronger connection to HAAG.
Pilot the onboarding procedure with a small group of incoming faculty sponsors and collect feedback on their experience.
Faculty clarity of role, confidence in expectations, and completion of onboarding steps.
Document gaps, revise templates based on feedback, and finalize the onboarding procedure for future semesters.
