We are introducing a new opportunity for the next generation of restoration professionals to become more knowledgeable and connected in the global restoration world, while being on the cutting edge of the latest developments in the field. Your department, institute, University or training center can sponsor a SER Student Guild and gain valuable benefits for you and your students.
