About
AWA is establishing a mentorship program to help students and new professionals begin their careers by connecting them with established or retired professionals in careers that, ideally, impact archaeology in Washington state. We hope that Archaeologists, CRM Specialists, Academics, Museologists, Architectural Historians, Historians, GIS Specialists, and other professionals, will be interested in helping students and new professionals become successful in careers in archaeology.
Mission
The program aims to match Mentors with Mentees who have similar interests and goals. We encourage establishing an expected weekly time commitment with your Mentee, as well as a weekly meeting time for the first month. Then, moving forward, arrange a mutually beneficial meeting schedule. We also want to acknowledge that some people may want to try other connections, which is why frequent meetings during the first month are considered beneficial.
The AWA Mentorship Committee will check in monthly with both the Mentees and Mentors to provide updates on opportunities that pairings may want to work on, including scholarships.
As little as one hour a week could make all the difference! Participation is encouraged regardless of availability. Our goal is to match you with a Mentee who has similar expectations for the program’s time commitment.
