CBE Onboarding
Welcome from the Dean
At CBE, we pride ourselves on a healthy collaborative culture based on values we develop together. However, when new people join our community we are not looking for culture “fit” we are hoping for “culture add”. We know that every person joining us, even if they have had CBE or UW experiences in the past, are bringing their ideas and a rich array of lived experiences that inform their points of view. We hope that as you look through the resources on these pages to better understand how we do things in our college you remain curious –if you learn something about the college that does not make sense or seems less effective than alternatives you know about, please feel free to ask. Sometimes there are well-considered reasons, some practices are ripe for questioning. We welcome you and your curiosity to our college!
Renée Cheng
Dean of the College of Built Environments
CBE now has onboarding for roles such as Instructors, Lecturers, Affiliates, Teaching Associates, and Professors of Practice. CBE onboarding day will be helpful in providing key elements and topics to help new faculty have a productive start in their new role at UW CBE. Please join us as your schedule permits.
There is always so much to learn when starting a new profession. Please know that HR is here to support your transition at CBE and wishes you the best this school year.
