Call for Proposals to Host 2010 ÂÜÀòÉç¹ÙÍø-Sheth Foundation Doctoral Consortium
The annual ÂÜÀòÉç¹ÙÍø-Sheth Foundation Doctoral Consortium is a premier event in our discipline. If your school would like to host and sponsor this event in 2010, please prepare and submit a proposal for receipt no later than November 1, 2008. Proposals should focus on the school’s ability to plan, deliver, and financially support a relevant and exceptional consortium experience for the participants.
The ÂÜÀòÉç¹ÙÍø-Sheth Foundation Doctoral Consortium, typically held early summer, introduces Ph.D. students to state-of-the-art perspectives and emerging themes in our profession. Thought leaders in research and practice are invited to provide a stimulating experience for doctoral candidates as they prepare to launch their careers. Life-long professional relationships often develop through the consortium experience. The ÂÜÀòÉç¹ÙÍø and the Sheth Foundation provide a substantial seed grant and doctoral participants are charged a nominal fee. The consortium host institution often secures additional sponsorship, commitment from its own university, and uses a modest fee structure that permits it to meet projected costs for lodging, meals and any fees associated with meeting space. Other activities such as receptions and off-site events are at the discretion of the host institution.
Please consider contributing to our discipline by sponsoring and hosting the ÂÜÀòÉç¹ÙÍø-Sheth Doctoral Consortium. If you need more information, or would like to submit a proposal by the November 1, 2008 deadline, please contact me.
