Anthropology Clubs (AnthroClubs) is an official student program for undergraduate members of the American Anthropological Association that works to foster community among those majoring, minoring, or having a general interest in the field of anthropology.
AAA Anthropology Club members work to mobilize students and departments by serving as on-campus ambassadors.
NEW! All DSP memberships now include an official AnthroClub membership. DSP members have the opportunity to start an anthropology club on campus or maintain their existing club with the support of AAA. The option to have a stand alone AnthroClub without DSP membership still remains.
