One of the most important lessons I’ve learned is the value of staying informed and organized. Knowing who to reach out to and what resources to request is essential—especially when it comes to your institution’s licensing, accreditations, and transfer policies. Staying current with faculty and staff meetings, as well as ongoing training, helps ensure we’re aligned with institutional updates and regulatory requirements. I’ve started creating a resource notebook and checklist to keep everything in one place, which has been helpful in staying compliant and prepared in this fast-paced environment.
