Description of Ideal Candidate
Who Should Attend SCCS-NY?
If you are an undergraduate or graduate student, post-doctoral fellow, or early-career professional (from anywhere in the world!) pursuing or considering the field of conservation, we encourage you to attend! Whatever your focus—biology, social sciences, medicine, economics, architecture, law—if it has relevance to conservation, we want to include your perspective.
If you are a conservation professional or faculty member, consider attending and contributing to SCCS-NY as a mentor! Providing mentoring for our student and early-career professional attendees is central to the mission of SCCS-NY. Mentors can participate by reviewing abstracts, providing feedback on presentations, and/or hosting a mentoring session or workshop. Opportunities for asynchronous, virtual, and in-person mentoring are available! Please contact the conference organizers at sccs@amnh.org for more details on how to get involved.
