    If you are a PhD student who has finished your comprehensive exams (or at least one year of your PhD program), we invite you to join us for the annual "Halfway There" PDW at AOM 2026. This PDW is designed to help mid-program PhD students begin to establish themselves as independent scholars. We hope you will consider registering for this session and/or spreading the word to your students and colleagues. Pre-registration is required (see link below) and attendance is limited to 100 people. If you are interested, please register now using the link below (takes 1-2 minutes to complete).

     

    Program Overview:

    Part 1: Introduction and Introspection

    Part 2: Crafting your Academic Impact and Identity with Dr. Daniel Newton (University of Iowa) and Dr. Jeffery (Jeff) LePine (Arizona State University)

    Part 3: Launching the Dissertation Process with Dr. David (Dave) Arena, Jr. (University of Texas at Arlington)

    Part 4: Envisioning your Job Market with Dr. Raquel Kessinger (Boston College), Dr. Timothy Kundro (University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill), and Dr. Darryl Rice (Miami University)
