> For a third year, the student subcommittee of the Academic and Professional Training Committee (APTC) has organized a different type of session. Focused on the SHA's student members, this session is driven by their questions and concerns. Students sit with panelists in an informal round table setting. Rather than listening to research papers, participants are encouraged to move from one discussion to another where panelists will host conversations and answer questions. Topics discussed will range from fostering relationships with mentors to networking skills both at the conference and beyond. Panelists will address issues encountered at the various stages of both undergraduate and graduate careers. This is an opportunity to take a break, meet the panelists as well as other students while discussing student-based concerns.

Ms. Monk offers expertise in both American and British maritime archaeology and history and Mr. Rocks-Macqueen is well versed on topics from GIS to the quality of archaeology as a profession. Involved in SHA committees, Mr. Jones and Ms. Coplin offer knowledge on working within the Society and public outreach.
