UPDATE as of March 11, 2020, the department decided to cancel the ANAGPIC conference because of the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic to ensure the safety of all participants. We are hoping to find a way to share the presentations and posters prepared by students for this conference in the coming months and look forward to hosting in April 2021.
PREVIOUSLY POSTED: The department is excited to host the 2020 ANAGPIC (Association of North American Graduate Programs in Conservation) graduate student conference in Buffalo this year. We have a packed schedule with student talks, professional speakers, and presentations from Mexican conservation colleagues and Andrew W. Mellon funded Chinese paintings conservators. There will be events at the H.H. Richardson Complex, Rockwell Hall, and a banquet at the newly restored Forbes Theater in downtown Buffalo.
