My Path to Preservation: Insights from a City Architectural Historian
Join the California Preservation Foundation for our My Path to Preservation series, a webinar program with the goal of sharing insights with students, interns, graduates, emerging professionals, and anyone interested in a career in preservation, to learn about the variety of pathways and opportunities available.
The one-hour, free lunchtime program will include a 10-15 minute presentation by a guest speaker in one of a number of preservation-related professions, followed by Q&A with questions from CPF's Education Committee Co-Chairs and our audience.
Find more resources for students on our Student Support webpage.
This program is made possible through the generous sponsorship of Groundwork Preservation, LLC.
