At the beginning of 2020, before the pandemic, she worked as a Fulbright Specialist and traveled to the Netherlands for a period of two and a half weeks to assist in the advancement of faculty at Utrecht University and University College Utrecht. Vicki is headed to Franklin University in Lugano Switzerland this summer, once again as a Fulbright Specialist, to support their faculty and leadership development initiatives.

Vicki has written over 100 peer-reviewed journal articles, book chapters, invited opinion pieces for higher education news media outlets, case studies and blogs on the topics of faculty and leadership development and higher education. Vicki is the author and/or editor of Charting Your Path to Full: A Guide for Women Associate Professors; Success After Tenure: Supporting Mid-Career Faculty; Developing Faculty in Liberal Arts Colleges; Managing Your Academic Career: A Guide to Re-envision Mid-Career; and Bridging the Research-Practice Nexus: Resources, Tools, and Strategies to Navigate Mid-Career in the Academy.

After obtaining her Bachelor of Science degree from Indiana University of Pennsylvania, Dr. Baker worked as a safety engineer in Ashland, Kentucky. She departed from Kentucky in order to obtain a Master of Business Administration degree with a specialization in management at Clarion University of Pennsylvania. Upon completing her M.B.A., she was hired as an administrator at Harvard Business School, where she served in the executive education division for nearly three years. During her time at H.B.S., she came to the realization that she wanted to pursue a career in higher education, namely as a member of the faculty. Dr. Baker relocated from Cambridge to State College, Pennsylvania, where she obtained a master's degree in management and organizations as well as a Ph.D. in higher education administration from Penn State University. During her studies, she taught management classes at the Smeal College of Business.

She will be honored at IAOTP's annual awards gala at the Opryland Hotel in Nashville for her selection as Top Professor of the Year. 

The President of the International Association of Top Professionals (IAOTP), Stephanie Cirami, stated: "Choosing Dr. Baker for this honor was an easy decision for our panel to make. She is inspirational, influential, and a true visionary and thought leader. We cannot wait to meet her and celebrate her accomplishments at this year's gala."
