<p class="MsoNormal">New at AMCIS 2014, a workshop for mid-career faculty, led by mid-career faculty on Thursday, August 7 from 7:30am – 2:45pm at the Westin Savannah Hotel.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:12.0pt">After reaching the milestone of tenure and promotion, it’s not uncommon to be wondering “now what?” Although this crisis of meaning may be common in one’s mid-career, these views are rarely discussed openly.
The Mid-Career Faculty workshop at AMCIS 2014 seeks to create an environment for associate professors to discover opportunities, exchange experiences, and establish new connections with peers.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">This workshop is different because it is peer led. The facilitators and panelists are associate professors or faculty that have just been promoted to full professor. This mid-career faculty workshop is specifically for those that have
reached tenure and/or promotion to associate professor and are now wondering how best to move forward in their career. The facilitators and panelists are mid-career faculty that have chosen options such as administration, pursuit of grants, editorial positions,
switching schools, focus on teaching or outreach, among others. The panelists are from a mix of research-oriented universities and teaching-oriented universities. <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">The theme of this workshop is “The Mindset After Tenure.” As a participant, you can expect panel discussions and to join in breakout sessions and interactive discussions. For more details, visit

<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Registration costs only $25, but attendance is limited to the first 40 registrants. It is an AIS-sponsored event, so all participants must be registered for the conference.
