I am really hoping that some of you spent last week-end working on submissions for the Southwest Academy of Management. Submissions in the Careers area should be designated for the HR track--which has, of course, the greatest track chair (that would be me)! But if any of you spent the week-end caught up with grading, as I did, then I have good news. The deadline for submissions has been extended to FRIDAY, OCTOBER 15. Rather than send an attachment to the list, I've copied the Call for Submissions (with the changed deadline) below. Thanks very much, and I hope to see those submissions rolling in soon! -- Gayle
