<p class="MsoNormal">Senior Advisor: Sandra Slaughter, Georgia Tech<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">This consortium is designed to facilitate career development for those IS academics who are at a mid-point in their career, neither beginning professors nor senior professors. Often recently tenured, professors attending this consortium
are at an inflection point in their career and will make decisions that will have a critical impact on the remainder of their careers. Some faculty members will assume new service responsibilities, some will pursue new research topics, some will seek an administrative
position, some will seek new teaching challenges, and others will raise their academic profile within the academic community in a variety of ways.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">If this profile fits you, consider attending the ICIS 2014 Mid-Career Consortium on December 14th, 2014 in Auckland, New Zealand. (There is no fee to attend the consortium.)<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Consortium participants will gain perspectives on career management, including new opportunities, new demands, and new pressures in various potential career tracks that an academic may follow. They will hear perspectives on how to balance
tasks to achieve career goals. A diverse panel of scholars, administrators, educators, and entrepreneurs will share their views on the decisions and pursuits of mid-career academics.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Morning sessions will identify various career track options that participants may consider in their future (research, pedagogical, administration, service, etc.). Then after lunch, participants will choose breakout tables to engage in scenario
exercises and freely discuss various career choices and to seek personalized guidance from colleagues and mentors.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Application Process<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">There is no fee to attend the consortium. We understand that many individuals will wait to learn if their ICIS submissions are accepted, so we have extended the deadline for applications to August 21, 2014. Applications must include a
current CV and a brief statement describing the applicant’s current academic status and potential future career goals. All application materials should be emailed to the co-chairs at mwarkentin@acm.org and Rajiv.Kohli@mason.wm.edu .<o:p></o:p></p>
