Archaeology equipment can be expensive that often burdens students more than we expect. Help students and colleagues to work in a safe environment with adequate equipment. Give if you can, request if you need help. #mutualaid #archaeology

The hidden curriculum is real, & many students don't know when or how to ask for letters of recommendation. If you want to be inclusive, help demystify the process. Consider sending your mentees resources like this blog on asking for LoRs by @ApothekeBlog notesfromtheapotheke.com/ask…

We LOVED seeing you all at #saa2022chicago! We also got a fairly unprecedented amount of applications as a result--DOUBLE the amount we currently have to distribute. A little help meeting this demand would be appreciated. Patreon: patreon.com/blacktrowelmicro… Paypal: @ btcmicro

“Diversifying” graduate student cohorts without recruiting, retaining, and promoting faculty of color who work on relevant topics who can teach and advise incoming students is unethical.
