Overall, fifteen Anthropology graduate students presented papers at this year's Graduate Student Research Symposium. Topics ranged from material culture to faunal analysis, with stops at language revival and Hopi artistic traditions among other interesting encounters. Anthropology MA student Sarah Mattes was co-chair of this year's symposium. The papers were scattered across a number of unfortunately too-often-cross-scheduled sessions on March 21st and 22nd. As we have come to expect, Anthropology students played critical roles in creating, mounting and substantiating this year's symposium. Congratulations to all who presented!
