A wonderful aspect of the Academy of Management (AoM) Annual Meeting is the developmental opportunities it provides for doctoral students. For example, the New Doctoral Student Consortium helps new doctoral students begin to feel more comfortable in our field. In addition, the Organizational Behavior (OB) division sponsors a Senior Student Doctoral Consortium to help prepare more advanced doctoral students for the job market. The purpose of the “Halfway There” PDW is to bridge the gap between these consortia by providing information and advice relevant to doctoral students starting the 3rd or 4th year of their programs. “Halfway There” is designed to help these students begin establishing themselves as independent scholars. Student attendees will be exposed to a number of prominent faculty members in this PDW who will provide students with their insights on topics such as (1) launching one’s dissertation (2) crafting a research project, (3) understanding the “job market” process, and (4) accomplishing your career goals.
