We are excited to announce that the 2010 New Doctoral Student
Consortium (NDSC) will be held this August at the Academy of
Management (AoM) annual conference in the historic city of Montreal,
Quebec.
The NDSC is an invaluable resource to new Ph.D. students pursuing a
degree in a management-related field. Through an intensive one-day
series of presentations, workshops, and networking events, the NDSC
helps ease the transition for new students by sharing valuable
information on the AoM annual conference experience, life as a
doctoral student, and the general pursuit of a career in academia.
The NDSC provides participants a unique opportunity to interact with
AoM division chairs and senior doctoral students, learn inside
information on publishing, meet future collaborators and coauthors,
make new friends, and engage in active discussions related to
students? academic goals. In just one day, doctoral students have the
chance to be part of an extensive academic social network while
learning and experiencing the potentials of becoming a management
scholar!
The 2010 NDSC will be held on Saturday, August 7th, from 8:00am -
5:00pm. Other events associated with the NDSC include a Friday evening
social at the Irish Embassy, starting at 6:30pm, and a Saturday
evening reception after Consortium.
