Be a sponge. Soak up all the knowledge you can ranging from the company structure / portfolio to your immediate manager / team to the layout of the campus and where things are (assuming it is not a remote position).

First week of a new job I really like to step back and let it all sink in. Generally there isn’t a ton expected of you yet so a great time to ask as many questions as you can and get a good feel for the place. Meet everyone you can and introduce yourself and make a good first impression!

Ask plenty of questions!

Keep a positive attitude regardless of how overwhelming all the info can be! Theres a very strong impression made based on how you react to diving into a new role.
