If you are a tenure-track professor you have to earn tenure. This process generally goes like this: 3rd year you get reviewed and they either fire you or tell you you are on your way toward earning tenure; 6th year you either earn tenure or you are fired. You get the title of Associate Professor at the time of tenure and you get Full Professor at some point in the future if you keep up your scholarship.
Tenure review means a number of committees of your peers (at different levels: department, College, University) look at your teaching, scholarship and service and rate you as poor, satisfactory, good or excellent. Here at WSU you have to average good to advance. In my College specifically you have to not have less than good in teaching to advance.
I handed in my file yesterday - of course it was five days early, remember Type A personality - and now I am nervous.
Send out some good vibes.

Awwww, it's kind of sweet to see you stressed about something like this. Of course you will receive "Most awesomely high reverend professor" status.
Don't stress - you're gonna kick this thing.
Most awesomely high reverend professor - I like that title - not quite as good as "her royal highness" or "her grace" but good nonetheless...
Scott walked his over on Friday. YAY! You'll be the "Most Awesomely *Highness* Reverend Professor Duchess" m'lady!
