“I really appreciate the diversity of research that faculty and students in the Anthropology Department are conducting. It's great to hear about different projects happening locally and all over the world - one person may be studying mountain gorillas in Rwanda while another is researching the movement of ecological knowledge around the globe via the Transatlantic slave trade. Anthropological research is so varied and has so many opportunities for interdisciplinary collaboration.  ”

“When I added the second major, my creativity blossomed. The balance between the arts and the sciences works great for me. I found switching back and forth between biological sciences and media study always got me equally excited to return to the other.”

“College can be overwhelming, especially while learning to navigate hard life decisions and balancing personal matters with academics. But you can figure this out! Recognize that everyone is a "work in progress" for the rest of their lives and no one is perfect. No matter what happens be true to yourself and be kind to others. ”
