Anjali Bal, Kirk Plangger and Adam Mills — all marketing PhD students at Simon Fraser University’s Beedie School of Business — have been awarded scholarships by the Academy of Marketing Science (AMS) to attend the Academy’s upcoming conference in Coral Gables, Florida.

The Academy of Marketing Science is the largest marketing association in North America that caters only to marketing academics, and will be celebrating its 40th anniversary at the Coral Gables Conference, which will be attended by more than 700 marketing scholars from all over the world. The SFU students participated as reviewers in the submission stages of the conference, and have also all had papers accepted for presentation.

At the conference they will also act as session chairs and discussants in addition to presenting their own work, and attending the doctoral colloquium.

PhD scholarship awards are highly competitive. In responding to the students’ chair’s thanks for their acknowledgement, the AMS’s chair of doctoral student affairs responded, “SFU PhD students are always a good bet!”
