From 1964-1965, Tiempo was part of the faculty at Wartburg College, Iowa.
She also taught at Western Michigan University from 1965 to 1966, and at
the Chinese University of Hong Kong and Hong Kong Baptist College from
1978 to 1979. In 1978, she received the Elizabeth Luce Moore Distinguished
Asian Professor Award. She also held the L.T. Ruiz Professorial Chair in
