We would like to request nominations for
2017 SERVSIG Emerging Service Scholar Award

at UMass Boston.
SERVSIG and the digital media lab @ UMass Boston are proud to present the Emerging Service Scholar Award. This award recognizes contributions to advancing the study of service research, and will be given annually to honor the contributions of a researcher in the earlier stages of his or her academic career. The SERVSIG Emerging Service Scholar Award launched in 2015 and will be presented at the 26th Frontiers in Service Conference in New York. The award includes a cash prize and is sponsored by the digital media lab @ UMass Boston.
The award includes a cash prize of $1000, plaque and spotlight features on the SERVSIG website & newsletter and other publications. The award is sponsored by the digital media lab (dml) at UMass Boston. The digital media lab @ UMass Boston is a research center founded in 2014 at the University of Massachusetts Boston under the leadership of Werner Kunz. The mission of the center is to turn the research and intellectual capital of academia on digital marketing, social media, and innovative media services into insights for real-world application. The center fosters a global community of researchers, practitioners, students, and alumni to advance new knowledge, widespread learning, and impactful dialogue on the challenges of a new digital media era.
