Anyone driving in a car with children knows those four words from the backseat, �Are we there yet?� bring a cascade of emotions. As mom who took a long and circuitous route to becoming a chemistry professor, I heard those same words over and over again in my head as I finished graduate school and eventually entered a career in higher education. With a tremendous amount of support from family and colleagues, I have been able to navigate being a mom and a professor at a small liberal arts college. In this presentation, some of the highlights and detours along the journey from graduate student, to non-tenure track faculty member, to a tenure-track faculty member will be presented.
