The NorthCap University organized a Faculty Orientation Programme to interact with all new joinees on one common platform on 9 August 2017. The programme acquainted the new faculty members with key aspects of processes and their functioning in various domains. Members were given a warm welcome and were motivated to become effective teachers by Prof. Prem Vrat, Pro-Chancellor and Brig. SK Sharma (Retd), Pro Vice-Chancellor. They shared their valuable insights on the teaching profession citing personal examples, faculty development, teaching effectiveness and expectations from the new faculty. They stressed that whoever adopts the profession of a teacher assumes the obligation to conduct himself/herself in accordance with the ideals of the profession. 

Members were apprised of the key schemes and faculty specific activities like Mentoring Scheme, Appraisal Process, Outreach Activities, Internships etc. It was followed by an Invited Talk by eminent academic, Prof Ajoy Ghatak who spoke on the topic ‘How to make teaching better’. From his vast experience he shared valuable tips with the new faculty and the relevance of using examples, videos, animations etc to make their lecture interesting and engage students in a better manner.

The FDP was well received as vital aspects were addressed from the faculty’s point of view. The session concluded with Dy Manager (HR) welcoming the new faculty to the NCU family and wishing them good luck in their future endeavours.
