New Faculty Resources
This page contains links identified that may be useful to new faculty.  Many of these links are from the University of California at Berkeley, where they have developed an online compendium of resources. Current links are also from the University of Wisconsin at Oshkosh.  We will be adding other links to these pages.  If you find other interesting links in your surfing, please send us an e-mail and we will add them to this page.  At some point, we will also add samples of online course syllabi and more.
