New Hire Orientation

Welcome to Emerson! We are excited to have you on campus and hope you come to feel at home here.

The College requires all new employees to attend an orientation session conducted by the Office of Human Resources as close as possible to their date of hire. You'll learn about the history of the College, go on a campus tour, and get detailed information about Emerson's personnel policies, procedures, benefits programs, and facilities.

Orientation sessions are generally held in the Office of Human Resources, in the Transportation Building (second floor). Sessions are held at least once a month, beginning at 8:45 am. We will notify each new employee and his/her supervisor of the date the employee is scheduled to attend an orientation session.
