    The OBTC Doctoral Institute – A Priceless Gift for Your Doctoral Students
    and ABDs

    Do your favorite doctoral students and ABD faculty a big favor – steer them
    on to the Doctoral Institute (DI) at the Organizational Behavior Teaching
    Conference (OBTC). The DI will be held June 9-11, 2008 at Babson College
    (Wellesley, MA - just outside of Boston), with the full OBTConference to
    follow, June 11-14. The intensive two-day DI experience is focused on
    students developing skills to balance the demands of teaching, research, and
    their personal lives. The 2008 DI will feature Drs. Richard Boyatzis of
    Case Western, Amy Edmondson of Harvard, and Denise Rousseau of Carnegie
    Mellon. The sessions will be facilitated by Dr. Tim Peterson of Texas A&M
    with mentorship for students provided by Dr. Amy Kenworthy-U’Ren of Bond U.

    Here is the link to formal DI announcement and information:

    Past participants have formed a lasting network of colleagues through the DI
    and have left the conference immensely gratified.

    I hope you will pass along the link to this priceless experience that will
    help later-stage doctoral students and current ABD faculty at your
    institution to launch successful careers. Better yet, arrange for your
    school to pay or contribute to their tuition, which covers all costs to both
    the Institute and the four-day OBTConference itself, one of the oldest and
    most valuable forums for management pedagogy in the world. You can check
    out the 2008 Conference website at www.obtc.org.

    I hope I’ll see you there too! Once again, the DI is June 9-11 and the
    OBTConference follows on June 11-14.

    My best wishes for a prosperous, learning-filled 2008.

    P.S. All DI participants become presenters of a self-designed workshop at
    the conference later in the week. This may encourage your school’s keeper
    of development funds to underwrite the event.
