Emerging Professional Mentorship Series – Conservator
Join the California Preservation Foundation for our Emergine Professionals Mentorship Series, a webinar program aimed at students, interns, graduates, and emerging professionals, with the goal of opening pathways for individuals new to preservation to network and learn.
The one-hour, free lunchtime program will include a 10-15 minute presentation by speaker, 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 Planning & Preservation.
