In late 2021 we sold the firm to the Canadian engineering firm Stantec, where I am now a regional principal. It seems like a good fit thus far and for a giant company Stantec seems extraordinarily nice (probably because they&#8217;re Canadian, I guess).<\/span><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr bgcolor=\"#EAF2FA\">\n<td colspan=\"2\"><span><strong>How did your experience in the program shape your professional and personal life?<\/strong><\/span><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr bgcolor=\"#FFFFFF\">\n<td width=\"20\"><\/td>\n<td><span>I loved the purely archaeological focus of the program; I chose it because at the time it was the only freestanding archaeology department in the US.<\/span><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr bgcolor=\"#EAF2FA\">\n<td colspan=\"2\"><span><strong>What interactions with members of the Archaeology faculty did you value most during your time in the program?<\/strong><\/span><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr bgcolor=\"#FFFFFF\">\n<td width=\"20\"><\/td>\n<td><span>Hard to even know where to begin&#8230; so many great memories of late night dinners and wide-ranging discussions with Mughal, pragmatic mentoring from Goldberg and McAnany, phenomenal teaching tips from Runnels, inappropriate but ultimately good-hearted comments from Beaudry, jousting with Hammond, etc etc etc.<\/span><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n","protected":false},"author":1481,"template":"","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.bu.edu\/archaeology\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/profile\/18173"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.bu.edu\/archaeology\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/profile"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.bu.edu\/archaeology\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/profile"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.bu.edu\/archaeology\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1481"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/www.bu.edu\/archaeology\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/profile\/18173\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":18176,"href":"https:\/\/www.bu.edu\/archaeology\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/profile\/18173\/revisions\/18176"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.bu.edu\/archaeology\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=18173"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
