Few publications deal with professional advancement for psychologists employed outside research institutions. We believe that many junior faculty who pursue careers at liberal arts colleges do not know how to ensure their success in or out of the classroom, and this article is an attempt to remedy the situation. We offer representative strategies from the four traditional areas of faculty performance and evaluation - teaching, scholarship, service, and working with students.
