Each spring, the Department of Marketing at Nebraska hosts the Mittelstaedt & Gentry Doctoral Symposium.
Modeled after the Haring Symposium held annually at Indiana
University, participant schools send representatives to Lincoln for a two-day Symposium
emphasizing dissertation research.
Participant schools include the University of Arkansas, the University of Illinois-Urbana
Champaign, University of Iowa,
Iowa State University, University of Kansas,
Kansas State University, Michigan State University,
the University of Missouri, the University of Oklahoma, Oklahoma State University,
The Ohio State University, the University of Oregon, the University of Utah, Michigan State University,
the University of Arizona, University of Wyoming, Washington State
University and the University of Wisconsin-Madison.
The Symposiums start with a welcome reception at the
Van Brunt Visitors Center. All-day Friday and Saturday morning, presentations
of dissertation research are made by doctoral students, followed by comments from
doctoral discussants and then by discussion from the audience as a whole. Friday
evening there is a banquet, and the Symposium ends with lunch on Saturday. Participant
schools are asked to pay for transportation to and from Lincoln and lodging
at the Courtyard by Marriott. The Department of Marketing covers the cost of the meals
and the Symposium proceedings. There is no registration fee.
