This was written for new faulty in two-year colleges, but most advice here is still valuable to new professors in universities.
- Be humble.
- Be willing.
- Be organized.
- Be collegial. Be friendly, open to sharing ideas and materials, and willing to help out a colleague in need. Your collegiality must extend not just to other faculty members but also to everyone else on the campus, including librarians, admissions counselors, and custodians.
- Be low-maintenance.
