THE MAS PHD STUDENT MENTORSHIP PROGRAM
With generous support from the MAS PhD Student Fund, we are pleased to announce that the sixth annual MAS PhD Mentorship Program will take place during the 2025 IMA Doctoral Colloquium!
What is it?
Participating students meet with one assigned faculty mentor for 1 hour during the IMA Doctoral Colloquium on January 9, 2025, and receive feedback on a research proposal.
Why should students apply?
This is a fantastic opportunity to spend one-on-one time with more experienced researchers and receive valuable feedback on your research proposal.
Who is eligible?
3rd and 4th year PhD students.
How do students apply?
To apply, simply select the PhD Mentorship Program option when applying for the MAS Doctoral Colloquium and download and submit your research proposal template HERE by September 30, 2024. Applicants will be notified of admittance decisions by October 15, 2024.
Is any funding available?
Yes, students who participate in the PhD Mentorship Program can get up to $500 travel costs reimbursed. This reimbursement is in addition to any IMA Doctoral Colloquium lodging reimbursement you might receive.
What happens after students are accepted to the MAS PhD Student Mentorship Program?
Once admitted, students will be matched with faculty mentors who are experts in students’ research areas.
Prior to the Colloquium, matched students and faculty mentors can discuss whether any updates have been made to the research proposal, the aspects of the proposal for which feedback is desired, and any other pertinent issues related to the proposal.

Dear Management Accounting Section (MAS) Members.
Welcome to the 2024-2025 academic year!
Thank you to everyone who was able to join us in Washington, DC for the 2024 AAA Annual Meeting. We had a terrific program of over 20 MAS concurrent sessions and a new reception format for our annual business meeting. Who doesn’t like a glass of wine to go along with financial and membership reports?! A huge thank you to all of you who submitted papers and to the over 100 volunteers who reviewed, discussed, and moderated for the meeting! And, of course, a special thank you to the MAS track organizers, Curtis Hall and Michael Majerczyk. For those of you who were unable to attend, here is a highlight of the awards presented to MAS members during the Annual Meeting:
