Anthropology Mentoring Program

Back by popular demand, the Anthropology Society is resurrecting an initiative from a couple years back, of a mentoring program between graduate students and undergrads.

Graduate students are available to talk about grad school, grant applications, and essentially anything anthropology related. If you have an additional questions, please feel free to contact Ashley Patterson, the graduate representative who is running the program.

There are simply two simple steps to sign up for the program:

1 - Fill out the questionnaire about your area of interest in anthropology (this will help us to set you up with an appropriate mentor). You can access the form on google docs here. Simply save and edit it.
2 - Email your form to Ashley (apatter6@uwo.ca).

The program should be up an running soon, so don't miss out!
