In reality, teaching schools provide a great environment for faculty to truly balance teaching and research. In this talk, I will discuss my experience at two small, teaching-oriented colleges: Mount Holyoke College and the University of San Francisco. I will discuss the extent of the teaching responsibilities at these and similar schools, and overview several models for conducting research without the benefit of PhD students. I will also discuss my experience with a pre-tenure job switch. Teaching schools are not for everyone, but you may fit in better than you would expect! Bio: Sami Rollins received her B.A. degree from Mills College and her M.S. and Ph.D. degrees from the University of California at Santa Barbara. She taught for three years at Mount Holyoke College before joining the faculty at the University of San Francisco. Her general research interests include networking and distributed systems and her current research focuses on data and energy management for mobile systems. Her teaching interests include networking and distributed systems, introductory computer science, data structures, and algorithms. She is also extremely committed to increasing the participation of women in the field of computer science. -- Tiffany Sabado Assistant to the Chair Computer Science Department Phone (805) 893-2207 Fax (805) 893-8553 _______________________________________________ Faculty mailing list Faculty@lists.cs.ucsb.edu https://lists.cs.ucsb.edu/mailman/listinfo/faculty ]
