Join the Anthropology Club!

November 10, 2026

The undergraduate Anthropology Club hosted its annual interest meeting on Tuesday, Sept. 29, allowing students across the anthropology major and minor to get to know the club and each other. During the meeting students painted tote bags and rocks, providing an opportunity to explore their creative sides and put their interests or favorite patterns and designs on display.

The Anthropology Club also hosted a guided Halloween cemetery walk with Shannon Novak, professor of anthropology. This took place on Friday, Oct. 30, at Oakwood Cemetery and gave students an opportunity to learn about the history of the expansive cemetery from the department’s expert on biological anthropology and human osteology. The cemetery walk used to be an annual department adventure around Halloween time and has made a comeback by popular demand!

The undergraduate Anthropology Club is a student run organization open to those with interests in any aspect of the discipline. It's a place to meet other students with similar interests and network with department faculty. Meetings are held throughout the academic year, ranging in topics from preparing for graduate school, improving your resume, learning about the different fields within the discipline, or just getting creative and having fun. If students would like to learn more about or join the Anthropology Club, they are invited to complete the interest form.

Students tour an autumn cemetery, then paint a rock and a tote bag with pine trees in a library.
