Nervous about starting at SM HF

Starting at a l/s equity SM hf (~6bn AUM) next month out of undergrad and want to hit the ground running. What can I do now to prep besides get up to date on existing names, news, modelling, etc? What about once I start?

I'm not sure what to expect honestly but I really want to succeed in this role
