Fall 2023 Calendar
- Post-CCHA Conference Symposium: Finding Your Career in Arts and Culture, sponsored by Humanities Texas and co-presented with the PRH Forum
- Date: Saturday, Oct. 14th
- Time: 3-5 pm
- Location: Austin Community College Highland Campus Presentation Hall, HLC2.1550
- Description: Have you ever wondered how to become a museum curator? A media archivist or historian? An advocate for the arts in your community, or beyond? There are many educational and career choices available in these fields, however students at Community Colleges are often unaware of the ways that their studies can prepare them for a broad range of professional opportunities in the humanities. Join host Jean Anne Lauer (Austin Community College; Fantastic Fest) and panelists Marco Buentello (Humanities Texas), Kate Betz (Story+Reason), and Elizabeth Hansen (Texas Archive of the Moving Image) for a conversation about the way that CC’s can provide foundations for students to gain entry into exciting and innovative careers in the public humanities.
