Scottish Group Student Tea break
Description
Are you currently studying archaeology in Scotland? Join committee members of the CIfA Scottish Group for a casual Tea break! We are keen to establish a closer relationship between the Scottish Group and archaeology students in Scotland. Our aim is to help and support you and your peers as much as possible, especially since COVID-19 has so heavily impacted current and recently graduated students. We will facilitate a small and informal discussion surrounding four key areas we would like direct input on:
- What made you study archaeology?
- Where do you see yourself in 5 years time?
- What are some issues and concerns you have regarding the archaeology sector?
- How can the Scottish Group help you?
We will run an 'Ask An Archaeologist' segment at the end, where we are happy to answer any questions you may have! The event is open and free to any current or recently graduated archaeology student in Scotland.
