  • 1.  Halfway There, But Now What? PDW for Mid-Stage Doctoral Students

    Colleagues,

    The Making Connections Committee and the OB, CAR, ODC, and CM Divisions are excited to present the 5th Annual "Halfway There, But Now What? Advice for Pre-Dissertation Doctoral Students" PDW at the upcoming Annual Meeting. The PDW will be held on Saturday, August 10th, from 12:00 - 4:00 pm in the Asia 1 room of the Dolphin Resort.

    The middle stages of a doctoral program can be a challenging time, as students are no longer required to attend courses and are expected to begin to structure their own activities and develop a research identity. The "Halfway There" PDW will provide relevant advice to help doctoral students beginning the 3rd or 4th years of their programs establish themselves as independent scholars. Leading scholars from the OB division will present on topics such as Launching the Dissertation Process, Developing a Stream of Research, and Understanding the Job Market. The session will also feature roundtable discussions with recently-minted PhDs who will answer questions and provide their own perspectives on the issues facing mid-stage doctoral students. A full agenda for the PDW is included below:

    Part 1: Brief Introduction (5 Minutes; 12:00 - 12:05)

    Part 2: The Big Picture: Career Advice (30 minutes, 12:05 – 12:35) Tom Lee

    Part 3 (5): Developing a Stream of Research (45 minutes; 12:35 - 1:20) Don Conlon and Brent Scott 

    Part 4: Round Table Breakout (30 minutes; 1:20 - 1:50) Jennifer Carson Marr, Eean Crawford, Lisa Dragoni, Spencer Harrison, Chad Hartnell, Maribeth Kuenzi, Tom Lee, Dong Liu, David Sluss, Adina Stering, John Sumanth, Ned Wellman, and Cindy Zapata
    10 minute break (1:50-2:00)

    Part 5 (3): Assistance with Launching the Dissertation Process (30 minutes; 2:00 - 2:30) Lisa Dragoni
