University Personnel's Organizational Development & Enrichment Program (ODEP) team is excited to introduce a New Employee Ambassador Program at San José State University. The new program is designed to help new hires, such as faculty and staff, transition into our university community as smoothly and welcomingly as possible. Starting a new role can be both exhilarating and overwhelming, and our New Employee Ambassador Program is here to provide new employees with support, guidance, and a friendly face by pairing them with a long term employee who will be their ambassador.
