Venue description

The mission includes developing student understanding of the diverse cultural and social forces shaping both the United States and other societies in an increasingly interconnected world (cultural anthropology); instilling in the students an understanding of the patterns of change and diversity realized by human communities through prehistory and history (archaeology), and across the range of human physical variation (biological anthropology) and actively involving students in research and scholarship, as well as community participation. They believe that this kind of active involvement is critical for the education of the whole person.
