The Office of the Advancement of Teaching (OAT-OVCAA) successfully organized its first face-to-face orientation for new UP Diliman faculty members in five years. The event was held on September 23 – 24, 2024 at the Ignacio B. Gimenez (IBG) KAL Theater.
The orientation featured speakers and informative booths representing various offices within UP Diliman, including:
These sessions and help desks provided new faculty with essential insights into university policies, resources, and support systems designed to assist them in their academic and teaching life in the university.
The orientation also welcomed representatives from key national government agencies, including Pag-IBIG Fund, Government Service Insurance System (GSIS), and PhilHealth. Their presence offered valuable information on benefits and services available to faculty members, ensuring that they are well-informed about their rights and responsibilities as government employees.
This event is a commitment of the Office of the Advancement of Teaching to support new faculty members as they immerse themselves into the UP Diliman community.
Again, welcome to the University of the Philippines Diliman!
