WHAT IS CAREER
MENTORSHIP?
SGC International is an educational non-profit organization
committed to informing our membership about issues and processes concerning
original prints, drawings, book arts, and handmade paper. SGCI is pleased to
continue the Career Mentoring Services at the 2018 Conference. Services are
provided at no cost to SGCI members attending the conference. Mentoring
services are available for individuals at all stages of their careers – whether
you are an undergraduate student thinking about an MFA, a graduate student
seeking career advice, an independent artist looking to start a press, or
someone in a tenure-track position looking for advice about navigating
academia. There are a limited number of spots, so sign up will be first-come,
first-served until sessions are full.
Mentor Sessions will be held in Skyview I at the Bally’s Hotel.
