New Employee Orientation Sessions

Harvard's New Employee Orientation provides an introduction to the structure and culture of Harvard University, the challenges and opportunities of being a new Harvard employee and also gives those who are new to Harvard a chance to meet other new employees.

At Orientation, employees learn about the benefits, services and perks that Harvard offers and have plenty of opportunities to ask questions. At most sessions, a representative from Harvard's largest union (the Harvard Union of Clerical and Technical Workers) will offer a brief overview as well.

For employees working in the Cambridge, MA area: Please refer to the Cambridge New Employee Orientation page for more information and to request a seat at an upcoming orientation session.
