Now a full professor!

Received a phone call from my president that the board of regents affirmed my promotion to full professor. The president before him was known to call or text faculty to yell at them and it was a nice touch of psychological safety that he sent a text before calling saying he wanted to share good news with me. Literally in the text, “nothing is wrong, this is a congratulations.” Just sharing a personal victory and the better things in higher Ed in a sea of bad stuff we usually read about.
