Teaching faculty numbers are rising as many research universities move away from temporary adjunct positions.  At Penn State, more than 50% of the faculty are considered non-tenure track, or fixed-term.  How can you prepare for a career as a teaching professor?  In this presentation, I will share my experience in making the choice to pursue teaching over research, and what I wish I had known in graduate school.  I will also highlight navigating the job market, the promotion process, and adjusting to sitting on the other side of the desk from the perspective of teaching faculty.
