---------- Forwarded Message ---------- Subject: CFP: MIS Camp at 2001 AMCIS, Boston Date: Mon, 14 May 2001 14:42:09 -0400 From: Steve Sawyer sawyer@IST.PSU.EDU To: ISWORLD@LISTSERV.HEANET.IE
2001 Americas Conference on Information Systems MIS Camp
We would like 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 2nd. The conference proper runs from August 3rd-5th, 2001 in Boston, Massachusetts, USA.
The MIS Camp consists of a series of interactive activities built around discussions of research, teaching, and service expectations (and how you balance these with your personal life). There will be one senior or mid- level faculty mentor for each three-to-five campers. Potential campers include AIS members beginning their SECOND or THIRD year in an academic position in the Fall of 2001, for example. This MIS Camp format has been very successful in the past (we think mostly because it is important for new faculty to share their experiences at their new institution with peers.) If you attended camp last year, you should NOT attend this year.
MIS Camp will be held on THURSDAY, AUGUST 2nd from 9:00 AM. to 4:00 PM. All campers MUST be registered for the conference. In order to keep this experience an intimate one, registration is limited to 25 people. Notice that the camp is the day BEFORE the regular program begins, so you should plan to arrive in Boston in enough time to begin camping starting bright and early Thursday morning. And the camp won't be very valuable unless you are able to participate in the entire day!
We hope MIS Camp sounds interesting for junior faculty members! It should be both educational and a lot of fun.
To register for MIS Camp, you will, of course, have to register for the AMCIS Conference. You will be able to indicate on the form that you are attending MIS Camp. The conference web (registration ) page is at :

In addition, if you decide to attend MIS Camp, please send Jay Cooprider (jcooprider@bentley.edu) or Steve Sawyer (sawyer@ist.psu.edu), the MIS Camp Track Chairs, an e-mail message containing the following information:
your name (preferred nickname, if any), institution, full mailing address, telephone, fax address, e-mail address, date and university where you received your Ph.D. degree, and any other information about yourself that you believe is relevant.
We look forward to seeing many of you at MIS Camp.
