CRM Master's Program at Society for California Archaeology Conference
SSU's Cultural Resources Management Master's program had a blockbuster Society for California Archaeology conference in Oakland, March 17-19, 2023. Our alumni and faculty organized and gave presentations in two major symposia. One celebrated 50 years of the Anthropological Studies Center, where CRM MA students complete internships and work as employees every semester. Included in that event were Annamarie Leon Guerrero (Cultural Resources Manager for East Bay Regional Parks) and Dr. Terry Jones (Professor of Anthropology, Cal Poly SLO). The other celebrated the 30 year career of Dr. Margaret Purser, long-time CRM MA faculty member and graduate coordinator. That symposium included presentations from Michael Newland (Environmental Science Associates), and Seana Gause (Planner for Sonoma County Transportation Authority) and Jennifer Darcangelo (Archaeologist for PG&E). The CRM MA program and ASC also participated in a hiring fair, where we spoke with dozens of current and former students! Sally Gaston (current CRM MA student) and Samantha Dollinger (CRM MA alumna and ASC staff member) are pictured tabling at the event.
