We are very pleased to invite new MIS faculty to participate in this year's MIS Camp, which will be held at The Americas Conference on Information Systems on Thursday, August 14 2008 from 8am – 5pm.

MIS Camp has a long history of being beneficial to support junior faculty for their career development and managing work/life balance. MIS camp consists of a series of interactive sessions built around discussions of research, teaching, and service expectations as well as how to balance these with your personal life. There will be one senior or mid-level faculty mentor for each group of between three and five campers. Potential campers include AIS members beginning their first, second or third year in an academic position in the Fall of 2008. This format has been very successful in the past, partly because it allows new faculty to share their experiences at their new institution with peers from other institutions. If you have attended camp before, you should not attend this year.

MIS Camp will be facilitated by the following group of IS academics:
