• Jana Diesner was awarded a scholarship to attend the German Academic International Network (GAIN). These awards typically only go to PostDocs, and so it is highly prestigious that Jana was awarded such a scholarship before she has even proposed her Ph.D.. This year, GAIN will take place at the University of California, San Francisco, in September 2009. The meeting is jointly hosted by the Alexander von Humboldt-Foundation, the DAAD (German Academic Exchange Service), and the DFG (German Research Foundation). The purpose of the meeting is to connect German academics who work in North America with funding agencies, and to provide information about transatlantic research co-operations and return programs. The meeting features workshops, networking events, and meetings with representatives of various funding agencies.


• Terrill L. Frantz, a CASOS/COS PhD Candidate, has been selected to participate in the 2009 Academy of Management (AOM) Doctoral Student Consortium and will represent Carnegie Mellon during the event to be held in August. The exclusive international event for PhD students is sponsored jointly by the Organization and Management Theory (OMT) Division and the Management and Organizational Cognition (MOC) Division of the AOM, and is held annually as an adjunct to the AOM's annual conference; this year's conference will be held in Chicago, IL, USA. The two-day consortium features a variety of presentations, interactive discussion sessions, and workshops that involve fellow PhD students and distinguish faculty. Selection to participate in the consortium is competitive and is limited to ensure a high faculty/student ratio.


• Terrill Frantz: The Research Methods Section of the Academy of Management has awarded Terrill Frantz the Sage Publications/RM Division Best Student Paper Award for his paper "Toward a Confidence Estimate for the Most-Central-Actor Finding". The annual award for the best student paper is part of the AOM's annual conference to be held in August 2009. The paper is written by COS Ph.D. student Terrill L. Frantz and Professor Kathleen M. Carley. The paper introduces a innovative practice of providing a statistical confidence estimate to accompany the reporting of the most-central actor according to social network data. It describes and illustrates a practical, non-parametric resampling approach for determining, applying and evaluating this new confidence estimate.
