Doctoral Student Corner
ABOUT THE DOCTORAL STUDENT CORNER
The AIS Doctoral Student College will host several events as part of this year’s AMCIS Doctoral Student Corner. We have developed these events to help doctoral students make the most of the conference by providing opportunities to gain advice from experienced faculty and to build relationships with others in our field.
We invite doctoral students at all levels to register for this free ancillary event when registering for AMCIS 2022. If you have already registered for the conference but forgot to include the Doctoral Student Corner ancillary event, you are still welcome to participate. We will give away several Amazon gift cards during each of our events!
Tentative Schedule:
