Doctoral Students Consortium provided opportunity to network with your peers and exchange ideas with a trio of distinguished EAM Fellows on teaching and research. Beginning on Tuesday May 18^th immerse yourselves in career development guidance and discussions followed by three research methods PDWs on Wednesday, Thursday and Friday delivered by renowned experts. The keynote on Friday May 21^st will focus on the salience of sustainability in Management education.
Junior Faculty Consortium provides networking and professional development opportunities for our pre-tenure participants. We will address issues relating to the challenges of research, teaching, service, and home life.This year’s program will include a structured networking activity, a dean’s panel on the tenure process, and focused round table discussions that will be based on participants’ interests. The tables will be hosted by senior EAM Fellows-a great opportunity to meet potential mentors and feel more at home at the conference.

The Mid-Career and Senior (MSFC) Consortium creates a space for open and frank conversation of special interest to EAM participants at mid or senior career. After an opening about confidentiality, we will invite participants to join a conversation/community. For example, mid-career faculty have often been promoted and want to talk about, “Now what do I want to do with the next 20 years of my career?” Senior faculty may want to talk about “When should I retire?” or “What will I do when I retire?” or “How do I stay current in my field? All faculty might be concerned about the career consequences of the COVID-19 pandemic. Will travel funds be restored? What is the impact on faculty workload? Do I want to continue in higher education? Join us for this important discussion!
