Objectives:
The Second Annual ISECON Graduate Symposium is dedicated to helping attendees develop a plan to deal with what remains a decidedly tough job market. We will consider the challenges faced by recent and soon-to-be graduate students (and the institutions looking for them) in navigating the often frigid waters when searching for that ideal “fit” between applicant and institution, including a panel discussion led by members of recent and (budgets willing) current programs searching for that right person. The symposium will take place on Thursday, October 28 from 1 to 5 p.m. George Nezlek, Associate Professor at Grand Valley State University, will lead this symposium for graduate students only. In addition, Susan Kruck, editor of JISE will present a special session on :"Publishing in IS Journals - Comments from an IS Journal Editor's Perspective"

Targeted Attendees:
All PhD and Master Students are encouraged to attend.
