It is GTA Orientation time this week, and I'm neck-deep in training our new first-year composition graduate teaching assistants. If there's one thing I can encourage you to do this semester--as I've been telling our new GTAs--is to pick one support office on campus and get to know the staff. I've found that getting to know various support offices on campus have helped me be a better teacher and mentor, as well as set boundaries. If you're feeling lonely, disconnected, or confused from your program, department, or campus, getting to know one support office can definitely help.
