Late-Career Consortium (for all AOM attendees 15 or more years post-graduation), Hyatt Skyway 260, Saturday 1-4 pm

The Late Career Consortium focuses on the career and life questions of late-career faculty (defined as 15 years or more since completing PhD). The aim of the session is to help scholars in any discipline manage the new demands of this career stage and to take advantage of the various opportunities and career transitions that arise. 

This year's consortium will focus on the various opportunities that colleagues have that build on the skills and knowledge that they have developed over their careers. These can be within university structures, such as becoming a head of a department or a dean of a businesses, or outside academia, such as investing in start-ups and designing public policy. As ever, attendees are free to raise any issues that they would like advice on. The panelists and other attendees have a wealth of experience and a range of perspectives, enabling them to offer sage and actionable advice. 

The consortium is open to all AOM attendees and will run for 180 minutes. No prior registration is required.
