Academics should start work on promotion to full professor while they are graduate students. Keys to promotion include: a strong publication record, external funding, and a national presence. This session will feature presentations by three AAHE scholars addressing keys to promotion (and time for questions and answers). We don’t have all of the answers, but we believe we can provide guidance for young professionals that will help move them along the path to full professor.
