| Sumario: | "Veteran professors synthesize their combined 60+ years of expertise at primarily undergraduate, teaching-focused universities into easy-to-follow advice for graduate students and current faculty seeking to build thriving careers at similar institutions. Writing in a friendly tone that includes their personal reflections, the authors guide readers through the entire career trajectory: finding and applying for positions, developing essential knowledge and skills over the course of one's career, seeking tenure and promotions, and continuing to thrive in the mid- to late-career stages while preparing for retirement.

Strategies for obtaining scarce yet crucial resources-time, money, and mentors-are also provided"-- "Veteran professors distill their decades of expertise into simple, practical advice for building rewarding careers as undergraduate instructors at teaching-focused institutions.
