Janet,
Hi, this is Patti Jeppson emailing. I've met you a couple of times
but you may not remember me. I am B.Schuyler's oldest, unfinished, student
(along with Jed Levin).
I have a question about HOW you went about this posting for your field
school . I am asking because I am one of the content organizers for the new
(in development) SAA Public Web pages (http://www.txvr.com/SAA/).
Field opportunities will be an area of this site that the public and
archaeology students will be interested in. So I thought I better ask
someone actually advertising a field school a basic question. I hope you
don't mind that I chose you.
My question is obvious and goes towards your attempt to have your
information shared as widely as possible. When you announced your field
school, what SPECIFICALLY did you do? In other words, what action did you
take to get the word out? I see you sent it to HistArch-L, but where else
did you send the information (any newsletters, etc.)?
Your answer will help us to know whether we need to task someone assigned
to surf for field school opportunities for the new web page or whether we
can just create links to a few external places.
Thank you for your time. Your field school site sounds fascinating!!
Sincerely,
Patrice (Patti) Jeppson
