Onboarding of newly appointed professors

Welcome days for newly appointed professors

Being newly appointed at a university always means getting to know a new organizational culture and becoming part of it. To this end, newly appointed professors are invited once a year by the Presidential Board to a two-day information and networking event, the so-called New Appointee Days. The newly appointed professors are familiarized with the goals and structures as well as the most important administrative and organizational processes of the University of Kassel. They are also given the opportunity to discuss their first impressions and unanswered questions with members of the Executive Board and heads of staff units and departments.

Guidance for Professors

Holding a professorship means dealing with a multitude of regulations and often conflicting expectations. The brochure, compiled in 2012 by a commission led by Vice President Professor Dr.-Ing. Lawerenz and approved by the Senate, summarizes this diversity of aspects and highlights the spectrum of special opportunities offered by a professorship at the University of Kassel.
