Call for New ASNJ Student Committee Members!

The Archaeological Society of New Jersey is seeking three individuals interesting in serving on our newly formed Student and Young Professional Committee.

 These positions aim to attract undergraduate students that can bring their perspectives and ideas to the ASNJ executive board. Their responsibilities would include liaising with university programs and performing outreach to other students with the ultimate goal of giving them a voice in the larger archaeological community. There is a growing discussion about how university programs can sufficiently prepare students for careers in archaeology and how the professional community can help guide students as they try to establish themselves as young professionals. These committee positions will give students a voice in the ASNJ, help them to address problems that students face, and help young professionals network within the archaeological community. Three students will be selected prior to the May meeting (5/20 at Stockton University) where they will be introduced. The positions will initially be non-voting committee positions, but during our January 2024 meeting, the entire membership will vote whether to make these positions permanent, voting, student members of the ASNJ executive board. Students should be able to commit to attending the May 20th meeting and regularly attending the quarterly meeting of the ASNJ.  The term for these positions will be 2 years. 

Interested undergraduate students over the age of 18 should apply through email (asofnj@gmail.com) to Richard Adamczyk (ASNJ VP for Membership) and George Leader (ASNJ President) and include: 

1. Name, Institution, Year, Age, and Major
2. Short Biography highlighting background and interests in archaeology or history (1-2 paragraphs). 

Selections will be made by mid-May and applicants will be notified by email. 

Thank you for your interest! 

Sincerely,
Richard Adamczyk
ASNJ Membership Chair,
Chairman of the Student and Young Professionals Committee
