Great to catch up with some of our grads at homecoming this Friday and to hear about all the wonderful things they've been doing. Well done again to Lori Baker who received our first ever Baylor Anthropology Alumni Award. Look forward to seeing you all at the next one!

Homecoming is coming, so please join us at 4.30pm on October the 31st in the 3rd floor of the Marrs McLean Building to celebrate the Department of Anthropology's Alumni Award. Congratulations to Dr. Lori Baker, our first ever awardee.

We're pleased and proud to congratulate Baylor Ph.D. candidate Marcela Pfaff Nash, who is the recipient of a Graduate Women in NSF Fellowship and an NSF DDRIG, for her research on how changing ecological & economic conditions affect children’s energy absorption among the Ecuadorian Shuar.

Rest in Peace abcnews.go.com/amp/Internat...

Humongous congratulations to not one, not two, but THREE of our grad students — Anna Samsonov, Lizzy Kim, and Teddy Thum — for securing competitive Doctoral Dissertation Research awards from the NSF Biological Anthropology.

We are lucky to have such exceptional grads.
