Dear Colleagues,
We are pleased to announce that the Career Division (CAR) will sponsor the CAR "Careers Doctoral Consortium" for Doctoral Students as part of the pre-conference activities at the Academy of Management Annual Meeting 2017.
CAR will provide a forum for early stage doctoral students to meet, connect, and learn from highly distinguished speakers and from each other.

| Doctoral students are often faced with multiple unfamiliar challenges. The PhD process can be demanding and overwhelming and very often students are expected to navigate these challenging issues themselves. Building a support network and effective strategies to manage this demanding process can be critical to these students' future academic and career success. Our speakers are a group of distinguished senior as well as junior international faculty. They will share insights on the following six topics: (1) Low hanging fruit: Making the most of AOM Annual Meetings (2) Surviving: Accessing and leveraging formal and informal resources during your doctoral program (3) Thriving: Recruiting mentors and collaborators for your network (4) Make it happen: Effectively navigating the dissertation process (5) Head of the class: Preparing for your first course assignment and teaching role. (6) Balancing act: How to juggle demands of academic life during your doctoral program and beyond. |

The consortium will include presentations and interactive discussion sessions with faculty members as well as breakfast. It has been designed to allow for high levels of interaction between faculty and students. In order to maintain a high faculty/student ratio, space for this consortium is strictly limited.
Pre-registration is required for this workshop. To register online, please visit https://secure.aom.org/PDWReg. The deadline to register online is July 27, 2017. However, we will be doing rolling admissions, so earlier applications are highly encouraged as the number of participants is limited.
