Oops

Apparently campus is closed on Monday due to the holiday.  Anthro Movie Night will be taking the week off.  Join us February 28 at 5:00 for "Bubba Ho-Tep."

Updates!

We're looking into hosting an atl-atl competition as a fundraiser.  So far, we're considering a competition for manufacturing nerf points of various classification types (I'll be very impressed if someone can produce a Clovis point via overshot flaking), and a prize for the greatest distance spear-chucker.  If you have any ideas, or would like to help e-mail us at isu.studanth@gmail.com.

SAS movie night has moved as it conflicted with nearly everyone's schedule.  We'll be holding movie night at 5:00 in Graveley 150 every Monday night starting February 21st.  Next Monday we will explore what happens when archaeology and socio-cultural anthropology collide.  An ancient Egyptian mummy will clash with the deeply held traditions and mores of nursing homes in the American south.  JFK and Elvis will fight the dark forces of Lyndon Johnson and the undead.  Fry yourself a peanut-butter, banana, and bacon sandwich and join us for "Bubba Ho-Tep."

Even more SAS events!

Don't forget the ISU student organization fair on Wednesday at 11:30 in the Student Union Ballroom.

Join us for the ongoing SAS movie night, Thursday at 6:30 in Graveley 150.  We'll be watching...something to be determined.

Don't forget our weekly meeting Fridays at 1:00 in Gravely 150.

See you there!

Event Reminders

Please join us for the first of a series of Anthropology Movie Nights on Thursday, February 3 at 5:30 in Graveley 150.  It's free and all are welcome.

Every Friday this spring Dr. Lohse will be hosting the Anthropology Colloquium in Rendezvous room 111 from 12:00-1:00.  The colloquium features talks from faculty as well as the community on various topics.  This is a great way to learn about the research conducted at ISU and in the surrounding areas.

The Biology department will also be holding seminars on Thursdays at 4:00 in the Lecture Center room 10.  Some topics that may be of interest include:

February 3 "Biotic and Abiotic Controls on Belowground Ecosystem Processes in a Changing World"

February 10 "Sky Islands in the Fog: Physiological Ecology of Fraser Fir (Abies fraseri) in Southern Appalachian Cloud Forests"

February 24 "Sockeye Salmon"

Thanks and see you there.

New Presidency

New officers were voted in on Friday! Here is your club presidency for spring semester:

President: Lauren Braden

Vice President: Jessica Sharp

Treasurer: Clayton Meredith

Secretary: Brenda Swafford

Co-Faculty: Dr. John Dudgeon and Dr. Dave Peterson

The club will not meet again until spring semester. This may change but as of now the club is planning to have our meetings on Fridays at 1 pm in Graveley 150, right after the department colloquium. The colloquium is open to the public and students from all departments. 

Thanks for a great semester everyone! We hope you enjoy your break!  

Final Meeting

We apologize for the short notice but we will be having our final meeting of this year tomorrow, Friday December 10 at noon in Graveley 150. As many of you know, Julie will not be here next semester. Her position as president will be open for a new officer! Please come if you would like to be considered for the position or would like to vote on the new officer. This will be our final meeting for the year! See you there!

Thank you!

The club would like to extend a huge thank you to all those who made it to the Potlatch last Friday and those who donated to the auction! We would also like to thank Dr. Maschner for his excellent and entertaining auctioning abilities! We would also like to give our sincere thanks to the faculty and student who donated towards the bartender. The Club was able to raise nearly $1,000 for future use. With this money we hope to be able to send students to conferences around the nation which help them build networks, get acquainted with the professional world of anthropology and archaeology, and increase the recognition of on-going research here at Idaho State University. 

Thank you! We hope the students enjoy their holiday break and we hope everyone has a great Hanukkah, Christmas and New Years!
