 SRS conference
Both Mike Wilken and Marlo Nalven, graduate students in the Anthropology Department, won the President's award of $500 as part of this year's SDSU Student Research Symposium. There were only ten of these awards, which were the highest form of recognition at the conference. The fact that we did so well is a reflection of the excellence of our Department. Kudos to both of them and our Department for this important recognition.
Marlo Nalven: The Bone Box: The Development of a Skeletal Biology Teaching Resource
Michael Wilken: Cultural Revitalization among Indigenous Communities of Baja California
