This virtual 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. While 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 and widely distributed throughout the country.

On the other hand, many companies, agencies, and organizations that hire these students are often in different regions than the academic programs.

This multi-school, multi-company fair tries to create a large pool of companies and students to maximize recruiting opportunities.
