It is important for the Faculty to be approachable and show that they are also people not just faculty. By providing that Bio Sheet to highlight the faculties professional experiences as well personal info then the students can become comfortable. The faster that the students become comfortable with the faculty the faster they will overcome fears and this in turn will provide an enviorment where they can focus, achieve, and learn. I also agree that by communicating possible job opportunities and titles that align with the programs offerred is important to showcase that this really is about their career and helping them achieve that goal.
