Discovering New Career Trajectories
Join us on Friday, July 9, 2021 at 2:00-4:00 PM Eastern Time for a virtual panel discussion, Discovering New Career Trajectories. This online event is designed for students or those who are looking for new ways to apply their archaeological tool kit. It is free and only available to SAA members.
There is no single way of doing archaeology. In all the different pathways a career can take, archaeologists bring their unique skills and apply an archaeological perspective to all kinds of environments. This panel discussion aims to show that there are a variety of ways of being and becoming an archaeologist. The panelists will share their experiences in their multi-trajectory careers and take questions from the audience.
The discussion will be recorded and available to all SAA members. Join live to participate and ask questions. Space is limited, so click here to register today! For any questions, please contact public_edu@saa.org.
