Abstract	Transitioning to a new role can be challenging whether at one's current institution or at a new one. Often, the resources that are meant to help with the transition are written by those who have been in the field for many years and who are far removed from the excitement, trepidation, and, at times, uncertainty that may attend a new role. As a "new-ish" registrar approaching his third year in the role, this article is written "by" the newbie "for" the newbie. Many of the challenges Joseph Wolk, a Registrar at Bridgewater State University in Bridgewater, Massachusetts, describes in this article are situations registrars are currently confronting (or have recently confronted). They range from shifting mindset to the importance of strategic relationships, from managing expectations/effective change management to early wins and building on momentum. Wolk discusses learning from failure and, perhaps one of the most important topics in the high-pressure role registrars hold, self-care. This article serves as a blueprint for how registrars approach their new role. (ERIC).
