Collegiality a Great Perk at any University

I enjoyed this article giving advice to junior faculty on the importance of collegiality when deciding on that first job out of a doctoral program.   However, I would say this is important at any stage of your career.  I have accepted a one year visiting professor position at the University of South Florida for 2006-2007 and moved to St Petersburg two weeks ago.  I am getting to experience what it's like to be the "new kid" again...after 17 years (and a tenured full professor position at Drake University).  It's challenging not to know the dynamics in the college, or even where the office supplies are...I am looking forward to getting to know my new colleagues!
