On Friday Feb 22,  ATEC.CONNECT will host a panel discussion with Dr. Roger Malina, Dr. Kim Knight, Dr. Frank Dufour, Dr. Paul Fishwick, and Jeffrey Senita on "The Track to Tenure,"  covering topics such as:

• What makes you an strong attractive candidate for an academic or research position?
• What are all the different types of professors, and what are they able to do?
• If you have an MFA (a terminal degree), how is it different from a Ph.D. (also a terminal degree)? Are they equal?
• How do you become a visiting professor at another institution?
• How important is it to publish? How does the purpose of white papers differ from journal articles?
