There will be an abundance of new and unique experiences for a new faculty member during their first years in the academy. Understanding the expectations for scholarship, teaching, and service is a major portion of this experience; however, there are additional policies, procedures, opportunities, and expectations for junior faculty. Developing relationships for mentoring will be imperative to the successful navigation of each of these areas. This chapter will provide ideas for obtaining a mentor; developing as a responsible and successful mentee; ideas for navigating scholarship, teaching, and service requirements in the university setting; as well as provide voices from the field to offer additional perspectives.

A comparison of courses that do or do not utilize a Course Management System (CMS) was undertaken from thestandpoint of a new faculty member. Seven distinct advantages were found with CMS implementation includinginitial tutorial group set-ups, email communication, sharing of student generated products, sharing ofinstructor-generated products, collection of assignments, delivery of graded assignments, and plagiarism checks.CMS training that precedes the start of a course is recommended for new teaching staff, particularly for largecourses of greater than 100 students, where CMS implementation has substantial benefits.
