This is a how-to book for the academic life based on more than 50
years combined personal experience and 8 years of formal group
mentoring as part of a workshop on these topics. The unwritten
rules of university life are shared through fictional vignettes
that are all too real. Secrets to successfully achieving short-term
and long-term goals are provided in the progress timelines and
suggested milestones. Beginning with selecting a training program
and choosing a job, this book takes the student, fellow, or faculty
member through the maze of academic secrecy to a new level of
understanding and empowerment.
