The University of Colorado Denver seeks individuals with demonstrated commitment to creating an inclusive learning and working environment. We value the ability to engage effectively with students, faculty and staff of diverse backgrounds.

The Office of Student Transitions and Family Engagement has ongoing openings for positions in the First-Year Experience Seminar program. The First-Year Experience Lecturer would be responsible for teaching a three-credit hour First-Year Seminar (FYS) core area course for the Fall 2021 or Fall 2022 semester. The focus of the CU Denver First-Year Experiences program are specially designed courses that provide a welcoming and supportive learning environment for our new degree-seeking students who are starting college for the first time in the fall semester. In any of the FYE courses they choose, first-year students acclimate to the rigors of college-level work, engage in the active social and intellectual life of our campus, work closely with faculty and peer leaders, and make close friends and study partners.

Courses in the First-Year Seminar (FYS) program offer a wide range of benefits to entering first-year students. They are content-based and taught by faculty dedicated to first-year student success. FYS Lecturers integrate academic skills into their courses to help students become more successful in their academic career. FYS classes are limited to 22-26 students, which creates an environment for strong interaction between students and the professor, who also doubles as a mentor for their first semester of college. FYS courses also introduce students to and engage them in CU Denver's vast student resources. In addition to these benefits, FYS students experience a higher overall satisfaction with their time at the university.
