Returning initiatives are planned to serve the professional development needs of a variety of SIOP members. The SIOP 2025 Consortia will continue to offer preconference sessions to support the development of I-O psychology students and early career professionals (both academic and applied). They are wonderful experiences that connect you with other I-Os, help you learn more about areas pertinent to your career interest, and plan for the next steps in your career.
Kristina Bauer (kbauer1013@gmail) and the consortia committee are planning four consortia tracks: Master’s, Doctoral, Early Career Faculty, and Early Career Practitioner. Registration will be through conference registration. The cost is $99 for Master’s and Doctoral Consortia and $199 for Early Career Faculty and Practitioner Consortia. Attendees must also be registered for the annual conference. To help determine which consortium is right for you, check out the infographic and details (printable PDF version). More information can be found on the 2025 Consortia website, or feel free to reach out to Kristina with questions.
Master’s Consortium
The 2025 Master’s Consortium will be entirely virtual prior to the conference and available for all students pursuing a master’s degree. Session content will be targeted toward second-year students who intend to move into a full-time practitioner role following graduation, but all master’s students are welcome to attend.
Co-Chairs: Cody Warren and Juliette Lloyd
Doctoral Consortium
The 2025 SIOP Lee Hakel Doctoral Consortium will be held April 2 and is open to doctoral students who have passed comprehensive exams (or their program’s equivalent) but have not defended their dissertation. Session content will be available for students pursuing either academic or practitioner roles.
Co-Chairs: Daniel Ravid and Kira Foley
Early Career Faculty Consortium
The 2025 Early Career Faculty Consortium will be held April 2 and is open to current and future junior faculty. Session content will address the unique challenges of entering academia, covering topics such as tenure expectations, teaching strategies, and balancing research and service.
Co-Chairs: Rachel Williamson Smith and Becca Brossoit
Early Career Practitioner Consortium
The Early Career Practitioner Consortium will be held April 2 and is open to those entering applied I-O roles. Session content will offer advice on consulting, internal HR functions, and career growth in organizational settings.
