A Blast from the Past:  The AMA launches the AMA-Sheth Foundation Doctoral Consortium website

The American Marketing Association recently launched a new home for the AMA-Sheth Foundation Doctoral Consortium at

http://www.ama.org/DoctoralConsortium.

As most of you know, the AMA-Sheth Foundation Doctoral Consortium is the premiere consortium in the marketing discipline. Over the course of several days, selected doctoral students, called doctoral fellows, are exposed to the rich diversity of topics, methodological perspectives, and theories that exist within the marketing discipline. Faculty are invited to share the consortium with students and to offer ideas, a friendly ear, time playing sports, or socializing at local bars. It is an intense intellectual and social event that is memorable for everyone involved.

The consortium page currently features an archive of doctoral fellow lists from nearly all of the 48 past consortia (representing over 3,000 doctoral fellows). It is interesting to look back in time to see which students participated in this event. The AMA hopes to feature more archival content on the consortium page, including photos and digital copies of programs from past events (including the recent past). Additionally, the AMA is missing doctoral fellow lists from 1991 (University of Illinois), 1993 (University of South Carolina), and 2001 (University of Miami). Any help in identifying these cohorts of fellows would be much appreciated. Please send all of your content and ideas to Matt Weingarden, Program Manager, at mweingarden@ama.org.

I encourage you to visit

to learn more about the AMA-Sheth Foundation Doctoral Consortium and to send Matt content and the missing lists!

Sincerely,
