With hiring season upon us, I draw your attention to our Domestic and International Moving Policy for faculty. It goes without saying that moving is very stressful and we are committed to doing all we can to make our new hires feel welcomed. Our goal is to provide the most flexibility during this stressful time by offering options that allow for greater choice in selecting a moving company while alleviating the need for a significant cash outlay by the new faculty member.
