Career Spotlight: Curator from the Pro Football Hall of Fame


Come learn about the unique career of Collections Curator Jason Aikens at the Pro Football Hall of Fame.  He will be our featured speaker on November 17, 2011 at 10:00 AM and again at 11:3AM ET.  Each session will last approximately 50 minutes with the majority of that time allowing students the ability to ask questions of the featured speaker.  

Aikens’ overall job responsibilities are the preservation of the Hall of Fame’s artifacts and rare documents, acquiring and accessioning new artifacts, as well as requesting mementos from players as new NFL records are set each week.  Students will not only have the opportunity to learn about his position, but also find out how they can position themselves to obtain a similar position like this.  The cost is $50 per site and is limited to three sites per session.     
If your school is interested in one of the sessions being offered, please email the Hall of Fame’s Education Department at EducationalPrograms@ProFootballHOF.com
