Student Awards and Accomplishments

Each May the Sociology & Anthropology Department honors our outstanding students by giving an award to those that qualify.  Students may also qualify to become members of a national honor society. Recipients are listed below.

Paul C. Glick Award: This prize was established by Paul C. Glick, Class of 1933, professor emeritus at Arizona State, past president of the Population Association of America and for many years Senior Demographer of the U.S. Bureau of Census. It is given annually to a senior (Sociology, Anthropology or combined major) who has demonstrated academic excellence (3.5 GPA or higher) and also one who has contributed to the department and the university more generally. Several times we have given it to two students who qualified. They receive a monetary award and their name on an engraved plaque which hangs in the department office.

Rolan Naylor Archaeology Award: for one or more students interested in conducting field work in Anthropological Archaeology. Preference will be given to Anthropology and combined Sociology & Anthropology majors (including graduating seniors) who have taken a course in Archaeology. The award, established by Roland Naylor, is intended to support field work over a summer or Winter Term.

Dustin will be doing field work in Virginia near Lynchburg at Thomas Jefferson's
Poplar Forest Retreat. He will be uncovering material cultural items to be
used to gain insights about plantation life and 19th century culture in general.
It is a rugged, 5 week course on historical archaeology in the public eye
that includes restoration, preservation, and repatriation rights. He will also be
camping just under 10 miles away, where he will ride his mountain bike to the site
every morning.

Congrats to our Anthropology students!

Four of the majors in anthropology will attend the annual American Anthropological Association meeting in Washington, DC - Amanda Fenn, Jamie Resseguie, Lindi Conover and Jeanette Jones submitted a proposal and were granted special funding to travel to/attend the annual disciplinary meeting November 28-December 2.  Congrats to them on their hard work and motivation!

An additional note - Amanda Fenn recently wrote a column for the Anthropology Newsletter that was published this month (Vol. 48, No. 8, November issue).  This column is one piece of her long term work on cultural constructions of virginity, sexuality and sex education in the contemporary United States.
