Abstract
The first-year experience of tenure-track professors is a complex transition that requires performing a new role in academia. In this session we illustrate our experiences transitioning from student to professor through a performance dialogue based on reflective journals and existing literature. Our dialogue gives insight into the emotions surrounding this experience and demonstrates how existing literature supports the notion of performance in various ways for new faculty.
