The Emerging Scholars program was created for the purpose of supporting the research of doctoral students and beginning professors in their first or second year faculty appointments. The Emerging Scholars meet during the annual meeting in February. At the beginning of the conference, Emerging Scholars are invited to a reception in their honor where they meet and collaborate with their assigned mentor and colleagues. During this collaborative time, mentors will provide feedback on the Emerging Scholars submitted manuscripts as well as guide them in preparation for their presentations. Scholars will present their research projects in a multiple paper format followed by time for discussion facilitated by their assigned mentors.
