Gifts for Your Mentor - Desk Plates for Professors
You teach, research, publish, advise, serve on committees, and somehow find time to have office hours no one attends.
Why This Works
Academic life is pressure from every direction. Publish or perish, student evaluations, committee work, and the myth of the easy professor life. These stickers get it.
That generic nameplate on your desk says 'Account Manager' but your soul says 'Professional Email Ignorer.' Our desk plates bridge that gap. They're the perfect blend of professional enough to stay on your desk and honest enough to make your coworkers snort-laugh. Finally, a nameplate that tells the truth.
