| Abstrakt: |
Picture this: You are a new faculty member fresh out of graduate school. As the academic year begins, you are working to "find your way" in your new institution while worrying about how to balance your teaching load, service, and establish a new line of research. One day a colleague shares with you information about the state convention to be held in a city near you and advises you to submit a paper. You think, "Why not?" and submit recent research conducted in your final year of graduate school. Unpredictably, this one-day conference turns into years of service, education, and professional growth. In short, your willingness to attend a conference and share your work could ultimately impact your tenure case in a positive way. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
