The 2026 New Teaching Assistant Orientation welcomes all new TAs at Rutgers University—New Brunswick! The virtual, asynchronous orientation is designed to address various teaching topics, such as preparing for the first day of class, dealing with common challenges, etc. Two Canvas sites will be available (general TA orientation for domestic and international TAs; and an accompanying International TA orientation for international TAs), and an email with information on how to access these sites will be sent in early August. In addition to the virtual orientation, new TAs are invited to attend the onsite orientation on August 24 on the College Ave campus. See the registration link for more details.
