The crew is back after a long and successful conference weekend! Thanks Plains Anthropological Society for such a great professional experience!

Spring enrollment is here. If you are looking for an enlightening class to take, International and Intercultural Communication, COMM 335, offered by Elliott School of Communication, is a terrific option.

It was an early morning to our 13 student travel grant recipients for their trip to the Plains Anthropological Society Annual Meeting! Have fun, be safe, and enjoy the conference in beautiful Boulder, Colorado!

There are still plenty left! We are here today and tomorrow from 10-2.

Don't forget that our book sale starts tomorrow!

This is a reminder that there is a Lambda Alpha Meeting tomorrow (10/21). Come join Lambda Alpha as we tour the biological anthropology labs at Wichita State between 3:30-4:30. We will be meeting on the ground floor outside of Neff 117.

Happy Birthday Dr. Moore-Jansen!

Next week, Rex Buchanan, the Interim Director of the Kansas Geological Survey, will be presenting his research on petroglyphs at the McPherson Museum. Based on the book Petroglyphs of the Kansas Smoky Hills, this presentation focuses on these carvings, their creators, and their relationship to the land. The presentation also discusses the challenges of dating and interpreting these carvings, the threats posed by erosion and vandalism, and the role of landowners whose property shelters these carvings.

MEETING TOMORROW (9/23) at 3:30 pm. Meet on the second floor of Neff Hall over by the Archaeology of Food Lab, where we will begin our tour the anthropology labs of three of the professors (Dr. Blakeslee, Dr. Dozier, and Dr. Kreinath).

We welcome you to join us to learn about current research and projects going on in the Anthropology department!

Join Dr. Jens Kreinath at 7 p.m., Friday, Sept. 24 at Neff Hall on the second floor for an informative tour of “Remember Aleppo.” A discussion will follow at 7:30 p.m.

The tour and discussion will focus on the photo exhibit “Reimagining Aleppo Through Peace and Pain,” which opened at Neff Hall in 2019.

See you on Thursday!
