Today is April 3 of 2013 and I am already behind with this initiative. I had thought to start working on it back in January. It was during that cold winter month in Nebraska when I had a conversation with Brent Cejda, my chairperson. Would I, he asked, be willing to vacate my office when I went to a part time status part way through the summer. Sure, I casually answered. In my part time status I will teach only on line students and only advise doctoral students at the candidacy stage. So, I rationalized, I won't need an office. I had the thought not many days afterwards that my experience in departing the professoriate has been a journey thousands of other professors have experienced. And the numbers increase daily. There might be some value in trying to capture the experience. Miles
