Ҵýƽ HR will begin offering both on-campus and virtual tours beginning in August for new hires. On-campus sessions will be held on the first and third Thursday of each month, and virtual tours will continue to be held on the second Thursday of the month. The New Employee Welcome Experience (New-X) is part of the comprehensive, year-long onboarding experience designed to increase the understanding of Ҵýƽ history, traditions, organizational structure and governance, operations, and mission. 

If an attendee requires an accommodation, please let us know by contacting ԱɲٳܰDZǰ.by the close of business one week prior to the session and we will follow up to determine an accommodation to meet their needs.

At the New Employee Welcome Experience, participants will:
