Robert Mittelstaedt Doctoral Symposium

For the second consecutive year, COB marketing professors and students in the PhD Program in Marketing participated in the Robert Mittelstaedt Doctoral Symposium.  The Symposium features doctoral students from some of the best programs in the US as presenters and discussants, and serves as a forum where students receive feedback on their research ideas and mentoring from experienced academicians.  Participation in the Mittelstaedt Symposium is by invitation only, and an honor for the programs involved.  At the March 2012 Symposium gathering, Mya Pronschinske, a second year student, presented insights from her ethnographic research into beauty pageants, and Bret Leary, a first year student, served as a discussant on a paper studying conflict resolution in franchising.  In addition, six UW marketing professors attended: Stacey Baker, Kent Drummond, John Mittelstaedt, Stephanie Oneto, Terri Rittenburg, and José Antonio Rosa.
