Participant comments
- I've learned that personal networks are crucial when seeking employment in academia.
- I learned a great deal about terms like "tenure," which I had heard from my advisors and senior colleagues but didn't fully understand. The specific discussion about the correlation between career paths and age was also very helpful.
- I had completely forgotten that education is a key requirement for university faculty members, and this experience served as a valuable reminder of that.
- I've come to realize that what's expected of university faculty at regional universities is somewhat different from that at research universities.
- I wanted to set aside two hours each week to think about "research skills." I wanted to deepen my understanding not only by talking with my advisor and senior students, but also by reading related books.
- We realized that continuous educational experience is necessary.
