Each department or division has a Human Resources (HR) liaison who will help you complete employment paperwork, register you for New Employee events and set up your workspace. The HR liaison can also help you set up voicemail and e-mail accounts, request keys (if applicable), and answer questions about the University and your department's operations.

This section, "Getting Started," will help you through your initial employment with information on "what to do and where to go" to quickly get you settled in your new position.

Here's to a Quick Start, including...

• The DU Vision, Values, Mission and Goals
• Checklist for new non-appointed employees
