Anthropology

Honors Day Convocation, an annual celebration hosted by the College of Arts and Sciences to honor the great achievements of our amazing students, was held virtually for the second year due to the COVID-19 pandemic. While while we could not gather in-person, we nevertheless want to celebrate the hard work of SIUE Anthropology students.

Below is the list of students and their awards:

• Cristina Sanchez Amasifuen, Dr. Laura McCullough Scholarship (CAS Award)

• Megan Walsh, Outstanding Student in Anthropology Award

And winners of last year’s Fred Voget Award in History and Theory of Anthropology, both in the class of 2020*:

We celebrate our amazing anthropology students - every day, but Honors Day especially. Congratulations to these hard-working students!

*Please note that we always recognize last year's Fred Voget recipients at Honors Day, because we haven't had our Senior Project Symposium or essay competition yet for this year.
