Student Opportunities

Anthropology students at EIU build their personal and professional skills by conducting field research all over the world, volunteering their time in service to the local and global community, and presenting their work at regional and national anthropology conferences. Two student-run organizations, Sociology-Anthropology Club and Lambda Alpha, are open to all students interested in sociology and anthropology.
