Yvonne Benschop and Beatrice van der Heijden winners of Academy of Management Awards

This summer, the Academy of Management once again presented its annual awards. During this year’s Academy of Management meeting in Copenhagen, two of our colleagues were granted major awards.

Yvonne Benschop received the Women in Leadership Award, presented by the Diversity, Equity and Inclusion division. This career award is given by the committee to scholars who provided intellectual contributions on educational practices that support the advancement of women in leadership.

Also, Beatrice van der Heijden was awarded the Hughes Lifetime Careers Scholars award. The nomination was based on the quality and quantity of published career research, sustained impact of career scholarship, practice, and society, and leadership behaviors, including the development of career scholars and/or practitioners.

The faculty is very proud of these prestigious prizes and congratulates both Yvonne and Beatrice on this fantastic achievement.
