The University of Illinois is delighted to announce the winners of the 2012 Paul D. Converse award. The Paul D.

V. Kumar, Georgia State University
Christine Moorman, Duke University
A. Parasuraman, University of Miami
Roland Rust, University of Maryland
Gerard Tellis, University of Southern California
The Converse awards are bestowed at a weekend-long symposium, which includes presentations by the winners and a discussion of the winner’s contribution to be led by a discussant of the winner’s choice.
