My career has been guided, not by just one star, but by a constellation.

My colleagues and letter-writers, who were surprised by the 40-plus applications I sent out last year, might have doubted my sanity (and perhaps their own) after this year’s final count of 110 applications.

I walked past the door of a colleague who--how could I have known?--was gathering nominees for college-wide committees; if I had known what she was up to, I would have chosen a different way.
