First ever Anthro Club Flintknapping Night
Jane Goodall Talk and Book Signing at Dartmouth College
">
The Anthropology Club took 11 students and our advisor, Bob Goodby, to see Jane Goodall speak at Dartmouth College in Hanover NH. This was an anthropology student's dream and everyone that went was thoroughly pleased. We got to hear her give an amazing talk and then we quickly got in line for the book signing where we were able to meet her, get her autograph and get a picture with her.
2008 Atlatl Competition at Chimney Point Vermont
This was our fourth year making an appearance at the Chimney Point Atlatl competition. This was the largest group we have brought yet from Franklin Pierce. We had both undergrads and alumni present as well as our president emeritus's parents. Our rivals at UVM were there and we beat them in score by far =) Our atlatl team has been making a really good name for itself this year. We have already been in New Hampshire's Union Leader and we are supposed to appear in Archaeology Magazine in the Jan/Feb edition.
On October 5 and 6 of 2007 the Anthropology Club worked with the Museum of Science in Boston to put on a display of Atlatls for Massachusetts Archaeology month, sponsored by the American Institute of Archaeology. Club members were given free passes to the museum for the entire weekend, food and a special luxury tour of the museum. It was so successful that the club has been asked to return next year, and also attend the next AIA fair in Chicago in February 2008.The students were exposed to over 3000 visitors and were allowed to perform with atlatls in front of audiences as well as engage with museum visitors at their exhibit area.
From May to June 2007, 18 students from Franklin Pierce University attended the Anthropology Departments field school in Ireland with Dr. Kelli Ann Costa. The month long excursion took students all over the Irish landscape, giving them a look at ancient megaliths, cairns, domens, museums, castles and many famous archaeological and historic sites.
On April 28, 2007, 68,000 Americans left their homes and commuted to a designated city in order to spend 24 hours as if they were displaced like the citizens in Northern Uganda Africa. A group of FPU students took this journey to a state park in New York. They worked side by side with other students from all over the country to build make shift homes out of cardboard, wrote letters to their government, only consumed a small portion of saltines and water, and slept in their cardboard huts for the night. All this was done in an effort to support and promote peace for the citizens of Northern Uganda, through Invisible Children.
In April 2007 14 members of the club traveled to Philadelphia, PA to see the King Tut Exhibit at the Franklin Institute. It was the overnight trip the club had taken in years, and members got to see the awesome murals of Philly, make some new friends, and dined out together.
