Hi everyone,

I wanted to share this in case anyone was interested - it is not my own work, but I figured there might be some overlap here and wanted to pass it on after it was shared with me!

Thanks,
Jenn

Subject: 2026 Virtual Career Fair Cultural Resources Management - Heritage and Preservation

Michigan Technological University and the American Cultural Resources Association (ACRA) announce the 2026 virtual Career Fair in Cultural Resources Management. The fair is specifically designed to help students studying for applied careers in cultural resources, including Anthropology and Archaeology, Geography, Sociology, Preservation, Architectural History, Planning, and allied fields. Last year’s fair was a successful trial, attracting more than 50 colleges and universities and more than 35 employers, ranging from large corporations to small organizations.

CRM is a central part of the larger network of professionals working in heritage, preservation, compliance, management, and planning, most academic programs producing students for these careers are small, with more than 200 institutions distributed widely throughout North America. On the other hand, many companies, agencies, and organizations that hire program graduates are often in regions separate from those academic programs, relying upon word-of-mouth and regional recruitment systems. This virtual career fair will connect potential employers and employees that would not otherwise interact due to these hurdles.

The Handshake app supports the virtual event. Universities and colleges manage access to the network for their current students and alumni.  Employers can join and are able to set the timing and type of events- from group information sessions to individual interviews.

We hope you'll consider joining this virtual Career Fair:

• March 18, 2026
