2012 Summer Institute in Cultural Resource Management
From the University of Maryland College Park and the SRI Foundation

To prepare the next generation of CRM professionals, the SRI Foundation together with the Department of Anthropology at the University of Maryland offers a Summer Institute in Cultural Resource Management. After one week of intensive classroom instruction at the University of Maryland’s College Park campus just outside of Washington, DC, students will be placed in supervised internships for six weeks. Internships can be with federal, state, local or tribal government agencies, with private-sector consulting firms, or historic preservation organizations anywhere in the country based on the student’s career goals. The Summer Institute in Cultural Resource Management offers an excellent and unique opportunity for graduate and undergraduate students to explore a career in cultural resource management (CRM), and to obtain real-world experiences that can be applied to future jobs in CRM.
