Recognize that everyone is a "work in progress" for the rest of their lives and no one is perfect. No matter what happens be true to yourself and be kind to others. ”

“I really appreciate the diversity of research that faculty and students in the Anthropology Department are conducting. It's great to hear about different projects happening locally and all over the world - one person may be studying mountain gorillas in Rwanda while another is researching the movement of ecological knowledge around the globe via the Transatlantic slave trade. Anthropological research is so varied and has so many opportunities for interdisciplinary collaboration.  ”
