Student Celebration Day, Spring Semester 2012

Thank you to everyone who stopped by our table today for Student Celebration Day.  Special thanks to Joe, Connor, Kelly and Kyle for helping with the day.  

Meeting Minutes, Meeting 11 Spring Semester 2012

I first want to thank all the presenters and helpers for making our first annual Anthropology Symposium a success.  We had a great array of papers and presentations encompassing a range of anthropology topics.  Cheers to those who helped, presented and participated behind the scenes.  At our last meeting we did discuss how to make the symposium even better next year, which would include more advertising and exploring different avenues for communicating the event to students at NHCC.

Also thank you to everyone who helped with Stress Relief Day, our atlatl target board was a hit and we successfully distributed many of our first-ever anthropology club can coolies to students and faculty.  

Sparkling water staying cool in the coolie!

Tomorrow is Student Celebration Day, the Anthropology Club will be posted at our table for as much of the day as we can cover to inform students of the club and hopefully wrangle some future club leaders for next semester as well as enlighten the unfamiliar to the discipline of anthropology.  Please join us there if you can.  I believe we will be in the CLA hallway, between the CLA and LRC.  

Our last club meeting of the semester will be April 30th when we will host our flintknapping demo. If you plan on participating please wear closed shoes and pants, flintknapping can be dirty and dusty so plan accordingly.  If you have your own leather gloves and eye protection please bring these also.

The Anthropology club's final off-campus activity will be to attend a lecture on underwater archaeology at the Science Museum on the evening of May 3rd.   

As the semester and year wind to a close I would like to thank everyone for a truly successful year, and the Anthropology Club's most vibrant year yet.  Thank you to everyone who has made this year possible.

Anthropology Symposium

Meeting 9, Spring Semester 2012

With so much work having been accomplished in our previous week's meeting I have very little to report from our current meeting.  What I can say is that we have a lot of events planned for the end of the semester and a lot of work still to be completed.  

In our meeting today we formalized what will be our atlatl target practice game for Stress Relief Day and got a peek at the actual target completed over the weekend by our pizza treasurer and secretary, Jeff.  The can coolies have officially been ordered with our logo for S.R.D and the symposium.  A flyer has been completed and is awaiting approval for the symposium as well.  We have decided also to cram one more event into the semester, a flintknapping demonstration, the date to be determined at the next meeting, but likely in the end of April, after the symposium.

Here is an overview of what is planned for the coming weeks:

Monday April 9 (2:30pm): Anthropology Club Meeting-finalize plans for the Symposium and Stress Relief Day, finish our entertainment.

Monday April 16 (2:30pm): Symposium "dress rehearsal." Tie up loose ends for S.R.D. and Symposium.  

Wednesday April 18 (8am-?): Stress Relief Day 

Friday April 20 (noon): Anthropology Symposium (6:30pm): Anthropology Club dinner at Kramarczuck's

***(sometime after this have flintknapping event)***

Monday April 23 (2:30pm): Anthropology Club Meeting

Monday April 30 (2:30pm): Anthropology Club Meeting

Thursday May 3 (6:30pm): The Archaeology of Pirates lecture at the Science Museum

Also, I have sent out an email JUST to presenters at the symposium requesting final titles so the program can get complied.  

I will extend the deadline until this friday as I stated, but in the interest of formalizing a timeline, program and agenda, I do really have to close the door after this week.

Please email or contact a club member if you would like to volunteer for either the symposium or S.R.D..  It looks like we need help most for clean-up after S.R.D..  Meeting minutes will follow.  Hope to see you at the next meeting!
