If you want to go fast, go alone.
If you want to go far, go together.

There are four of us up for tenure this fall at UMF. We decided to work at it together. We've had a breakfast together and several "working lunches" where we brought our stuff to the same room at the same time and just worked. Even though we are each doing our own thing, it's so nice to do it with someone. And if you have a question, you just ask and there are three more heads to figure out a good answer together. We even made a Google site where we all share what we know and what colleagues have shared with us. It's been a pleasure and a blast. Beth, one of our members, shared this quote which she saw on the wall of a store in Grapevine, Texas this fall and thought it would be a good one for our tenure group.
