AB  - Six years to tenure seems like an eternity until the last year approaches and much is yet to be accomplished. A sudden surge of activity at the end of the tenure trek is “normal”, as most new professors spend too much time getting started. This is especially so when there is a research program that must be established before the refereed papers can be produced. And, of course there is the teaching aspect of tenure. In teaching colleges the path is different but requires planning and careful management just as it does in the research institutions. The key to success is a fast start that eliminates the first year syndrome, where satisfaction over landing a job buoys the new professor until the realization hits that this is a small step in a lifetime career.

This paper addresses the fast start from three levels; Vice President for Academic Affairs (VPAA), Director of Engineering Technology, and the new Professor. It addresses the plan proposed by the VPAA, the execution of that plan by the Director, and the efforts of the Professor to accomplish the myriad of tasks that will help in the tenure process. It involves direct communication among the group, and a mentoring plan to assist the new Professor. It requires each responsible agent to get involved to assist in the success of the program. It is not an assurance of success, but it helps all parties begin the evaluative process early, to avoid disasters that deny tenure to good people and tenure some who might otherwise be less qualified.
