First Annual Doctoral/New Faculty Consortium
(noon, February 3, 2005 – noon, February 4, 2005)

This year, thanks to the generous sponsorship of KPMG, the International Section of the AAA will be holding its first annual Doctoral/New Faculty Consortium starting at noon on February 3 through noon on February 4 before the main IAS Midyear Conference starts. Any doctoral students and new faculty in their 1st or 2nd years that are interested in pursuing international accounting research are invited to attend. The International Accounting Section will pay for one night hotel (on February 3) and the registration fees for the entire midyear conference (which includes all the meals and social events). The consortium will include top international researchers and educators from around the world. We are planning on limiting this to 30 participants on a first come first serve basis. New faculty must be in their first or second year in their first position after Ph.D. graduation. Please email Bruce Behn at bbehn@utk.edu if you would like to participate in this event. The itinerary and participant list will be posted on the International Accounting Section's website.
