Maybe things will come up as you talk to them...otherwise I'm sure they'll address all the details!

Congratulations on your new job!

You may want to clarify what you need to do for tenure, if you haven't already discussed this. Also, you should clarify any questions about benefits - when does health insurance start? Is there a flex spending account? How do you get involved in the 403(b) plan - and do they have a match program (ie., if you contribute x% of your salary will they match that?) Also, if you are going for masters plus, what is the pay scale like and are there limititations about what types of classes you can take.
Congrats!
