Conference Mentoring Program

Are you new to NCPH or attending the NCPH Annual Meeting for the first time in Nashville? Or are you a well-seasoned conference pro willing to show a new attendee the ropes? For our Nashville meeting, NCPH will pair students and new professionals with experienced public historians and conference-goers for informal conversation and casual networking.

Mentors and mentees will contact each other in advance of the conference to set a place to meet (we suggest the Pre-Reception on Wednesday evening, April 15!). During the conference, mentors can introduce their mentee to other professionals and share the insider scoop on how to make the most of the conference experience – tips on promising tours of the city, not-to-be-missed sessions, or advice on presenting a poster for the first time.

Attending a conference for the first time can seem intimidating, and NCPH wants to help its first-timers navigate the waters.

If you would like to sign up to be a mentor or mentee, please email the Mentor Coordinator, Meghan Hillman, at [email protected] with the subject line MENTORING NASHVILLE.
