Survive and Thrive by Wendy Crone

The guide is organized according to six key components of academic professional development: 1. Tough Questions About Why You Are Here 2. Joining Your Department and Discipline 3.Establishing Expertise 4.Developing Networks, Relationships, and Mentoring Activities 5.Getting Support and Evaluating Your Personal Health 6.Planning for the Future Readers may not want to consider these issues sequentially, so an index is also provided at the end to facilitate consultation on a specific question or topic. In many cases, questions are posed that will be associated with specific actions you will need to take. Because one cannot act on every front simultaneously, readers will need to set a wide range of goals for themselves -- some will be accomplished quickly, and some that may take more time. Along the way readers are encouraged to keep good records of their progress. Documentation of some of the information discussed in the guide will be important for tenure packets. For the untenured faculty member, the author has several recommendations aimed at motivating personal progress and support from tenured colleagues.
