If you meet prospective student archivists, be sure to let them know about the Harold T. Pinkett Minority StudentAward! Attending the SAA annual conference is a fantastic opportunity to network with other archivists, to stay updated about the state of the field, and to be re-energized about working in this profession.
The Pinkett Award was established in 1993 to recognize and acknowledge minority graduate students, such as those of African, Asian, Latino or Native American descent, who, through scholastic and personal achievement, manifest an interest in becoming professional archivists and active members of the Society of American Archivists. The award recipient will receive full complimentary registration to the SAA Annual Meeting and related expenses for hotel and travel for attending the SAA Annual Meeting in San Diego, CA, in August 2012. Applications are due by February 28 of each year.
