WAPA Career Mentoring Event
April 9,2019, 6:30-9 pm
Sumner School
The deadline is approaching to register for the WAPA Career Mentoring Event at https://wapadc.org/event-3039964
The Career Mentoring Event is a forum to provide anthropology students, recent grads and new professionals, or transitioning professionals with an opportunity to discuss their job-seeking and career questions with experienced, professional anthropologists. If you have wondered what kinds of opportunities exist for professional anthropologists in certain domains, then this meeting is for you.
The event will begin with a brief overview of career options. Participants will then break into small groups (specific themes TBA) with practitioner anthropologists to focus on particular anthropological arenas such as cultural resource management, international development, health and medical anthropology, government services, and museums. The small group session will run for 35 minutes, and then participants will move to another mentor conversation.
After two roundtable discussions, we will regroup and ask participants to discuss key learning and any questions not answered.
The organizing committee consists of Blake Bass, the WAPA Board student member; Stanley Yoder, who has led the WAPA Mentor Program for several years; and Terry Redding, who has been an "instant mentor" for several years at American Anthropology Association's annual meetings. The list of mentors is currently being finalized; the final list will be emailed to participants a few days prior to the event.
Note: If you have agreed to be a mentor at the event, you do not need to register!
