To ensure smooth onboarding into your new role, the Lima campus Human Resources team will partner with your supervisor to prepare your orientation to the university in advance of your start date. You will meet with Human Resources during your first day of employment, at which time all necessary documents will be given to you for completion. Below are additional resources for your convenience.
