| Early Career Scholars Coffee Hour on May 30 |
The Early Career Scholars Committee is starting a new community-building initiative. On May 30th at 1 PM EDT, we will be hosting our first ever social Coffee Hour over Zoom! These Coffee Hours will be bi-monthly events, in which we want to bring together ASOR enthusiasts from around the world. We welcome students (high school, college, graduate) as well as early career scholars to enjoy some friendly conversation, with our first theme being "archaeological fieldwork." We are interested in hearing all your fieldwork stories and in particular, any questions from those going into the field for the first time. We hope to build a larger online network in the future with these social events as casual, drop-in at any time, hang-out virtual spaces. Please spread the event widely—Zoom link: https://unc.zoom.us/j/95420093585
