    If you are a mid-tenure junior faculty member who has completed your mid-tenure review or are at approximately the halfway point of your tenure clock, we invite you to join us for the inaugural "Halfway to Tenure, Already?!" - Advice for Mid-Tenure Junior Faculty Members PDW at AOM 2026. This PDW is designed to help mid-tenure junior faculty members evaluate progress toward tenure, navigate expanded responsibilities, and chart a sustainable path forward. We hope you will consider registering for this session and/or spreading the word to your colleagues and mentees. Pre-registration is required (see link below) and attendance is limited to 120 people. If you are interested, please register now using the link below (takes 1-2 minutes to complete).

    Program Overview:

    • Part 1: Welcome and Introductions
