Anthropology Club is an awesome way to meet new people, make connections with professors, grad students, and the department, as well as listen to awesome speakers that help prep and grow the anthropologist in you; with the occasional snacks, food, and field trips!
Furthermore, feel free to email the club with any questions at anthroclub@colorado.edu .
For Fall 2022 - Spring 2023 Ella Stritzel is the Anthropology Club President.
Mission Statement
The Anthropology Club serves to inform students about career, educational, and life opportunities in the field of Anthropology and beyond. The Anthropology Club is a resource for any student who is interested in Anthropology and its many facets. As an academic club, we will both benefit from and add to the experiences of the University and students that participate in our activities.
Professor Covert and The Anthropology Club visit the Denver Zoo to learn about their conservation program for primates and other animals.
