Thank you to all of our 2023 Anthropology Day participants who made this event possible! Anthropology Day is a day for anthropologists to celebrate our discipline while sharing it with the world around us. Attendees had the opportunity to learn about the latest research in anthropology through hands-on experience with different anthropological tools and interact with anthropologists to discuss the importance of this research in today's world.

 

Special thanks to:

Anthropology Day

Come celebrate Anthropology Day and the study of humanity with us in front of Baldwin Hall on February 16! The Anthropology Graduate Student Organization is proud to present exhibitions about the research done here at the Department of Anthropology.
