See our full episode notes at https://www.centerforengagedlearning.org/journey-to-the-professoriate/Pierce Johnson, a graduate student at the University of Albany, finds himself knowing he wants to be teaching-centered as a professor in the future, but his graduate program, as many are, emphasizes research. Host, Matt Wittstein talks to Pierce and a panel that included Marcela Borge from Penn State University, Leo Lambert, president emeritus of Elon University, and Sophie Miller, a first-year graduate student at Purdue University. Together, we talk about building a resume that aligns with your goals, considering how research and mentoring experiences develop teaching related skills, and even touch a bit on imposter syndrome.This episode was hosted by Matt Wittstein, edited by Matt Wittstein and Olivia Taylor, and produced by Olivia Taylor in collaboration with Elon University’s Center for Engaged Learning.
