    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. This year's "CAR Doctoral Consortium" will provide a forum for early to mid- stage doctoral students to meet, connect, and learn from each other informally, from guest speakers, and from a panel of distinguished career scholars on a number of useful and relevant topics. Our aim is to bring together scholars from a broad range of cultures and institutions that mirror the diversity of the CAR membership. Our speakers are a group of distinguished senior as well as junior international faculty.


    The CAR doctoral consortium this year will involve two parts:


    I. Roundtables: Speakers and facilitators will share insights on the following seven topics (9:00-11:00):


    (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;

    (7) Abiding the AOM code of ethics and you.


    II. Panel discussion (11:00-12:30):

    Highly published career scholars will share insights and discuss along this year's AOM theme of "improving lives": How career research can be impactful and life changing in addition to sharing publishing insights?



    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 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 25, 2018.
