AFFECT is hosting a day-long mentoring workshop in conjunction with the 2023 AFA meetings.
The event will include both breakout research sessions and panel discussions led by mentors. Twelve women, each of whom is a senior faculty member within finance, have generously offered to serve as mentors. The breakout sessions will be in small groups, organized by research area. The panel discussions will focus on issues such as publishing, effective teaching, and work/life balance. In addition, there will be two dinners, to give participants added opportunity to network.
Deadline: August 10, 2022 (registration closed)
AFA membership is required.
