Your Future on the Faculty

How to Survive and Thrive in Academia

Beschreibung

There is much more to being a college professor than just teaching and doing research. Most new faculty struggle because they have to figure out how to juggle a complex mix of activities that are dominated by the human and institutional structures they live within--from departments up to international professional communities. Your Future as a Faculty Member: How to Survive and Thrive in Academia discusses these human elements that are core to surviving and thriving as a faculty member. It guides readers through lessons in building successful and supportive relationships with communities of students, campus colleagues, professional peers, and university administrative and support staff.
