Anthropology Club

The Anthropology Club is an organization of students and faculty whose purpose is to promote cultural awareness and understanding, encourage professionalism, provide opportunities for professional exploration, promote and encourage the study of anthropology, educate the community on the contribution of anthropology, and become involved in campus and community cross-cultural events.

Traditionally the club has participated in the community by providing volunteer services in both the natural and human environment. Past projects vary from the Boise River Cleanup to Community Education at the local K-12 level. Projects are driven by student interest and involvement. The club has also worked with the Department of Anthropology in sponsoring guest speakers from many areas in the social sciences, as well as individual students attending and presenting research papers at professional conferences.

The Anthropology Club strives to promote cultural awareness and understanding, encourage professionalism and provide opportunities for professional exploration in the study of anthropology.  Class officers are elected to one-year terms. Any member of the organization may seek office. The faculty encourages and expects student participation. The club not only provides informative programs, but also an opportunity for students to interact and exchange ideas.

Students interested in the Anthropology Club should send one of the club officers listed an email or attend one of the club meetings.

Announcements of meetings or other events are usually mailed, circulated in classes, posted on the Anthropology Department bulletin board, emailed through the Anthropology Department mailing list, or posted here on the Anthropology Club web page.[/one_third]
