***UPDate: Orientation Sessions Held via Zoom
New Hire Orientation currently takes place remotely via Zoom and will be remote for the foreseeable future. Orientation lasts from 8:30am-12:00pm on the first and third Mondays of each month. New hires and managers are sent Zoom details prior one week prior to the orientation date.
