MENTORING PROGRAM PLANNED FOR NCPH ANNUAL MEETING Plans are underway to provide mentors for students attending the annual meeting of the National Council on Public History, to be held jointly with the Organization of American Historians in Washington, D.C. 30 March-2 April 1995. The program is designed to pair student attendees with Council members in order to give students a personal contact who can answer questions and generally *show them the ropes* at what for some may be their first professional meeting. It is hoped that this will help extend a welcome to students and demonstrate that they are important to us. It also should make them better aware of the NCPH and its role in the public history world. The contact between student and mentor may be as little or great as is mutually desirable. However, an excellent opportunity for meeting each other follows the "Careers In Public History" workshop scheduled for Thursday, 30 March 1995 from 1:30-5:00 p.m. We are in need of both students and members who are willing to mentor. It will be particularly valuable to have mentors who are nonacademic public historians so that students may get a sense of what it is like out there in the trenches. If you are interested in participating in this program, please contact the address below. Please also try to include an approximate travel schedule and areas of interest and/or expertise. To the degree possible, pairings will be made, and participants notified, in advance of the meeting. You may, of course, also contact the address below should you have any questions.

I do not subscribe to all the lists on which this hopefully will appear. Besides, there is no need to clutter the lists with messages posted between two individuals. Thanks.
