Organization and Management Theory OMT

2007 OMT JUNIOR FACULTY CONSORTIUM
August 8-10, 2008

The OMT division is pleased to present the annual OMT Junior Faculty workshop. If you hold an assistant professor rank (or its equivalent), this professional development workshop is for you.  The workshop tries to make available the knowledge that you need to prosper in both the local and global academic environment. The workshop focuses on strategies for impact as a scholar and teacher, as well as on building a career in diverse professional settings.  In the workshop, you will have a chance to interact with an exciting team of workshop Fellows through panels, discussion and informal talk, and to meet many other peers early in their careers.

1.  Name and address with current mail and e-mail addresses, telephone and fax numbers, as well as institutional affiliation

2.  A 1-page description of your current research interests that will serve as your introduction to the other participants.

3.  Your curriculum vitae.

Apply as soon as possible as space is limited, but no later than May 19, 2008.

Accepted participants will be required to pay $100.00 USD to defer the costs of the Friday night dinner, and Saturday breakfast and lunch. (Small group dinner arrangements will be made for those participants and Fellows interested at local restaurants on Saturday night, but the dinner will be on a no-host basis.)
