Phoenix Orientation

Phoenix Orientation Logo

The Phoenix Orientation program is held once per year in August, prior to the start of the Fall Semester, with the goal of providing all new employees foundational information on campus history, direction, mission/vision, and other essential material to ensure their success as a new employee and to better integrate them into the UW-Green Bay culture and community. All ongoing employees hired for at least one academic year with an FTE of 50% or greater are expected to attend.
