Building Careers in Anthropology Conference

Updated: Apr 26, 2022

The anthropology-wide Career Readiness Commission invites you to an all-day conference on May 13 at Fordham's Gabelli School of Business (near Lincoln Center).

Twelve workshops (see below) have been designed with a mixed audience in mind:

  • For instructors: ideas and resources for preparing your students for the workplace
