Hey folks,

I’m a new Ph.D. grad and landed a tenure-track job in August. My Ph.D. was at an R1 and I knew that I did not want that environment at my job, so I’m at a great teaching university. I’ve taught for eight semesters across three different schools (R2, R1, T1), so the teaching is no problem. Did some service in my Ph.D. and plenty of research.

While I have a summer to prep, what are some things to work on and be prepared for in my first year? Any tips, tricks or pitfalls I should know about?
