The meeting began at 2 pm with introductions:

Jacqui Graham grah0183@umn.edu Anthropology student, in her junior year with a concentration in Biological Anthropology.  Currently enrolled in Sex, Evolution and Behavior and Forensic Anthropology classes. Jacqui had heard about the club when she was in high school but has not been able to attend the past 2 years.  It is great that she is here now!!

Ben Weidman benweidman@gmail.com Ben is a Super Senior major who is interested in all aspects of Anthropology.  Right now he is undecided as to whether his senior focus will fall in cultural or physical anthropology.

Elizabeth Noel noel0028@umn.edu An Anthropology major in her 2^nd year, Elizabeth will probably be concentrating in physical anthropology, Archaeology.  She is currently enrolled in Sex, Evolution and Behavior, Intro to Archaeology and Archaeology of Prehistoric Europe.

Heidi Skallet skal0044@umn.edu Heidi is an Anthropology senior concentrating in biological anthropology.  She is taking Greg Laden’s 5990, Rise of Civilization, Forensic Anth. and working on her senior project planning. 

Sally Goodman good0452@umn.edu What a delight to have Sally, a freshperson with no declared major right now, as part of the club!  She is taking Understanding Cultures with Karen-Sue Taussig, and is interested in a possible Anth. major.  Hooray!

Marina Kalinichev kali0096@umn.edu Marina is a 2^nd year Anthropology Major with a potential double major in Linguistics.  She attended and participated in last year’s conference.  Her focus is primarily in cultural and linguistic Anthropology, and she is currently taking Ethnography and Ethnographic Method with Matthew Wolf-Meyer and Race and Culture with Professor Penn.

Jen Krieger  krie0106@umn.edu Jen is a 3^rd year major focusing on Native American Archaeology.  She was involved in the club last year and attended the conference so she knows the ropes!  She is currently enrolled in Sex, Evolution and Behavior and a Native Policy class.

Ben Salyards saly0010@umn.edu A Global Studies and Anthropology dual major in his 4^th year, Ben also attended the conference last year.  He is currently taking Matthew Wolf Meyer’s Ethnography and Ethnographic Method class, Culture Theory with Micha Penn, a Global Studies class with Stuart McLean, and Language, Culture and Power with Valentine.  He is uncertain about where his senior project will fall.

Greg Grossmeier gros0259@umn.edu Greg was the glue for the club last year in a lot of ways, and he will be acting as Webmisstress this year too…that is until he graduates in December!  Greg is not currently enrolled in any anthropology courses, but is focusing on finishing his degree requirements in other areas.
