The purpose of this Dignity of the Calling is to share other
stories of faculty entry into higher education. These stories focus
on the deeply personal nature of the new academic. Framed around
the idea of curriculum being contextual and how life experience
guides what we do, this collection of memoirs, recollections, and
personal narratives allows the reader to share these lived
experiences. Although I was a teacher prior to the entering the
professoriate, I was not ready for the gargantuan professional and
personal transition to higher education. I was not prepared for
minutiae of forms, deadlines of inter-office programs,
personalities, and most of all for the human and sometimes
illogical relationships among colleagues. I was caught off- guard
by the nuanced thinking of students; and most of all, I was, at
times, overwhelmed by the time constraints of research, teaching
and service on me and my family. However, I survived, and I believe
I thrived in in my small slice of the academic world.
