Abstract
Higher education is an intriguing realm within which to journey, referred to as the ivory tower as well as the potential for Dante's levels of hell. Many scholars who walk the halls of higher education institutions enjoy a journey that offers measures of the best and the worst of people. This may suggest the best of humanity as well as the more curious of colleagues in our academic midst. This work's participants reflect upon their scholarly journey, with specific attention upon their experiences and impacts associated with the Queen Bee Syndrome, wherein women may critically impact other women who are either actual or perceived subordinates in the job arena. The participants share their own stories and the stories of others that they have viewed, experienced, and shared.
