This PDW is organized by the OB Division’s Making Connections Committee. It is geared toward providing an opportunity for those who have been promoted to full professor (or will in the near future) to gain insights from experienced full professors on how they can continue to develop themselves and contribute to academia in various ways. This PDW will feature insights from more senior full professors in the field with established reputations and varied experiences of being a full professor. We will have short presentations from a panel of full professors followed by a moderated question and answer session. The panelists will share their experiences of being engaged in various roles within their departments and colleges, as well as to the broader scholastic community, such as editorial roles with journals or professional association leadership. Panelists will also share their experiences with mentoring PhD students and other junior faculty members as a source of meaningful contributions. This PDW will provide encouragement and guidance for recently promoted full professors as they strive to make impactful contributions to their institutions and the broader academic community.
