“The workshop far exceeded my expectations. Not only did the workshop inform me about how to effectively apply for faculty positions, but the presenters were also clear in describing the life of an academic. I really appreciated that everyone involved with the workshop was so honest about work ethic of an academic, but also the benefits that come with that life. Further, after I returned to my research institute I felt completely charged and wanted to be as productive as I could be. I took the advice to heart and immediately submitted an abstract to specialized conference in my discipline.”

–2013 NextProf Participant
“I came in with a list of questions, very unsure of ‘how to start’ a faculty position. From the workshop I learned how to prioritize my time and during the workshop developed a 12 month plan for my first year as an assistant professor. I asked all of my questions, and even a few that I didn’t even know that I had.”
