This program supports outreach to undergraduate students and recent graduates who are presently underrepresented in conservation, as well as workshops and internships at museum, library, and archaeological conservation laboratories. Carraway is Choctaw and Chickasaw from southern Oklahoma. Read more about Carraway and her experiences in the Mellon program here.
