Another of our favorite events from this yearโ€™s Academy of Management Annual Meeting: the Doctoral Student Consortium! ๐ŸŽ“

Each year, the DSC brings together PhD students and senior scholars for a day of conversation about research, careers, and life in the OMT hashtag .
Itโ€™s an opportunity to introduce emerging scholars to the breadth of research that calls OMT home, provide some guidance as they navigate the PhD journey, and build across career stages that strengthen our community for years to come.

A huge thank you to the faculty who generously shared their time and experience, and to the doctoral students who brought their ideas, questions, and enthusiasm.

Welcome to OMT - weโ€™re so glad youโ€™re here! ๐Ÿ’™

A wonderful start to with OMT Day at Drexel University's LeBow College of Business! ๐ŸŽ‰

Before the formal Academy of Management program even began, members of the Organization & Management Theory (OMT) community gathered at Drexel LeBow for a full day of opportunities to connect, learn, and support one anotherโ€”from OMT Meetups and Meet EGOS@OMT to our Mid-Career Faculty PDW and other community events.

A huge thank you to everyone who organized, mentored, participated, and helped make the day such a successโ€”and to Drexel Universityโ€™s LeBow College of Business for hosting us in Philadelphia!

As we start off another year of content in the division, we'd like to introduce our new social media chair, Andrew Foley, and invite you to make some contributions!

Take this survey (below) if you'd like to 1) contribute ideas for OMT's socials for the year, 2) share some fond memories of OMT events at the AOM conference in Philly.

Talk soon!

One of our favorite things about the AOM Organization & Management Theory Division (OMT) community is how willing senior scholars are to invest their time in junior colleagues.

We just wrapped up our 9th round of Meetups, and the numbers are pretty remarkable: 86 senior scholars volunteered as mentors, 98 junior scholars signed up as mentees, and together theyโ€™ll participate in 184 one-on-one meetups.

For those unfamiliar with the initiative, OMT Meetups creates opportunities for junior scholars to connect individually with more senior members of the community: for advice, conversation, and simply the chance to get to know someone they might not otherwise have the opportunity to meet.

A huge thank you to everyone who volunteered their time, and to Anupama Kondayya who led the initiative. Itโ€™s a wonderful example of the kind of academic hashtag we should keep building.

Every year, the careful and often unseen work of reviewers helps make the Academy of Management Annual Meeting possible - ensuring that submissions receive thoughtful, constructive, and developmental feedback.

Please join us in recognizing a subset of reviewers whose reviews stood out this year for their exceptional care, thoughtfulness, and constructive spirit.

Thank you for the time and effort you devote to supporting our scholarly community and for going "Above and Beyond the Call of Duty"!
