Career Exploration Workshop for Anthropology Students
Anthropology students face a dire challenge upon graduating: where to start looking for jobs. Traditionally, universities do not provide the training necessary to plan for and start this search.
This workshop will help students delve into their career interests and prospects and develop a plan for achieving transferable skills to apply for jobs post graduation.
Each attendee will leave with a list of core interests, a list of possible job titles, a list of transferable skills to pursue, and a plan for achieving those transferable skills prior to graduation.
Format: 45-60 minute interactive workshop. Best suited to early graduate students or late undergraduate students

Skeletons hold clues to solving mysteries and forensic anthropology is the key to unlocking them. Documentaries and TV shows often depict forensic anthropology but rarely tell the whole story. In this class, students will learn about the history of forensic anthropology, how to search for and recover evidence, and how to reconstruct the identity of a victim and the circumstances around their death. Through discussions of real cases and depictions of forensic anthropology on TV, students will gain an understanding of what forensic anthropology is, and is not.
