New Employee Toolkit

At Weber State, we care about giving our employees everything they need to perform their best. With that in mind, this website is full of resources to guide you through your first few months at Weber. We strive to meet students where they are and help them to meet their higher education goals. Each and every position on campus plays a role in fulfilling that mission.

That level of intention is not just for Weber students. We seek to provide that same level of support for our faculty and staff. If you have any questions, please feel free to email or call your supervisor, myself or the other members of the Human Resources team at any time. We are more than happy to help you. We look forward to working with you and see you achieve great things!

Thank you for choosing Weber State.
–Assistant Vice President for Human Resources Jessica Oyler
