I just had my official meeting with the dean and my school director and I am being recommended by my college to be promoted to the rank of full professor! Of course, this won't be official until May, still several more layers of protocols to get through, but I am feeling relieved and excited.
For those unfamiliar with this (shall I say antiquated?) process, we tenure and tenure-track profs spend decades trying to prove our worth in teaching, scholarship and service...creating massive PAPER giant notebooks supporting our case. Yearly reviews by department, college and university committees and administrators document the journey...
And I might (in May) be called Professor Banister.
