[Grad_history_students] IMPORTANT Careers for History Students Event...please RSVP

[Beiriger, Eugene]

Dear Intrepid Historians,

THIS IS THE SAVE THE DATE EVENT!  

This Friday, May 13, the History Club and the university Library will co-host an informational panel discussion on careers in archival work.  Given the rapid expansion of archives, as well as the new era of digitizing documents and other materials, careers in archives will be a growth field in the years to come.  This is a great opportunity to learn more about this career, its challenges and rewards, as well as advice on how to position yourself for a career in archival work.  Please RSVP to me if you can attend.  (Refreshments will be served.)  Below is the official information:
