20. The Christy Woods Holiday Special: Alternative Academic Careers

She knows when you are working. She knows when you are not. She knows if enrollment is bad or good so keep it good for goodness sake. This is not Santa that Ben and Amanda are talking about - it's their dean. In this episode Ben and Amanda talk with the magnanimous Christine Woods about her pathway into and through academia, from industry to teaching to serving as president on the state's Faculty Council of Community Colleges and then finally to academic dean. What happens in all of those roles? What options are available to faculty in their academic careers other than teaching? In this episode we unwrap some answers to these questions and enjoy the presents of wisdom Christy Woods has to deliver. Aww, all I got is coal in my stocking.
