We are pleased to introduce the founding Leadership Team for the AOM Student Community:

Chair: Andrew Millin

Andrew is a rising fourth year Ph.D. in Global Leadership and Management Candidate, and Past President of the Business Doctoral Student Association, at Florida International University. His research interests are leadership, neurodiversity, and top management teams. His top advice on navigating the AOM annual meetings is to attend division specific consortiums and events. As a result of attending the AOM 2022 Careers Division Consortium, and HR Division Boat Ride, he met co-authors that he is working on multiple projects with. Outside of work, he sings and beatboxes in a local a cappella group.

 

Communications Committee Co-Chairs: Reed Eaglesham and Vlada Snyder

Reed Eaglesham is a fourth year PhD student in the Human Resource Department at the ILR School of Cornell University. He currently acts as an HR Student Representative for the AOM HR division, social media editor for the ILR Review, and is a fellow with the Ithaca Co-Lab. His research focuses on compensation and turnover, particularly for vulnerable groups such as low-wage and visa-holding workers. Before his doctoral studies, Reed worked as a technical recruiter and as a research assistant at the Sauder School of Business at the University of British Columbia.

Vlada is a second-year Ph.D. student in Supply Chain Management at the University of Tennessee. Her research interests include sustainable supply chain management, buyer-supplier relationship management, and supply chain strategy. Her top advice on navigating the AOM annual meetings is engage with as many individuals as possible—especially those from other divisions. Some of the most interesting research ideas come about when we engage with others from a variety of topical backgrounds! Prior to her doctoral studies, she founded a small e-commerce business, which served as the catalyst for her interest in business research. She currently holds a Master of Business Administration degree and a Bachelor of Science in Biomedical Sciences degree from Marquette University.

Program Committee Co-Chairs: Catherine McDonald and Mike Weimar

Catherine McDonald is happy to be the current SIM Division AOM Student Ambassador! She is currently a PhD candidate at the University of St. Gallen in Switzerland and a research assistant at the Institute for Business Ethics. Within the Academy, she is a member of the SIM, IM and OMT divisions. Catherine's research focuses on how multinational enterprises engage in corporate diplomacy in conflict affected settings and their human rights related responsibilities. Previously, she was a Visiting Fellow at Harvard University (Spring 2023) and worked at the International Committee of the Red Cross and as well as agencies of the United Nations.

"The AOM Annual Meeting is a great way to connect with other scholars both within your division and beyond. Through the AOM Annual Meeting, I’ve had the chance to connect with peers and senior scholars, meet co-authors and gain greater insight into academia through the SIM Doctoral Consortium. I look forward to meeting many of you at the upcoming AOM annual meeting in Chicago!”

Mike Weimar is a third year Ph.D. student in Organization and Management at Liberty University Online. His research interests include various aspects of leadership including team dynamics and organizational commitment. He is excited to be part of the Academy of Management Student Ambassadors and looking forwarded to connecting with other students.
