Caitlin followed the script for landing a tenure-track position to a tee. Conference attendance and panels, publication, university service—you name it, she did it. And excelled at it.
But after four years of her search yielding no viable offers, she shelved teaching and explored the non-academic job market.
And in the process, she considered her values and strengths through a lens she’d neglected: one independent of the academy.
Now she’s discovered a new passion for leadership and higher ed management, working as an associate manager in the advising department. And Caitlin’s found a professional home that supports her in ways she never thought possible.
