by Rohr
Ten new staff members joined Teal Nation in August to work in departments from Admissions and Merit Awards to athletics to facilities and operations. They participated in New Employee Orientation on Aug. 16.
The September New Employee Orientation was delayed multiple times due to Hurricane Florence and the subsequent flooding event and has yet to be rescheduled.
