What's a Positive Way to Think about a Cameo?

March 29, 2012 9:58 AM

My job on a university campus entails incrementally building relationships with faculty and administrators over the course of many years. In the fall of 2012, I will be subbing for a director on a different campus for one semester. It doesn't make as much sense to slowly build relationships because I will be returning to my home campus in Spring 2013. Yet, I still want to be proactive. What is a good framework for thinking about a one semester cameo on a new campus?

Best answer: Given how political and slow universities can be, I'd work along the lines of furthering some of the established director's goals/plans. Small useful helpful things that other director might have had on his back burner are the low-hanging fruit.
