The AnthroCircle officers organize meetings and events, deal with paperwork, and much more. Here’s a little bit about each of us, as well as what we do in AnthroCircle. If you have any questions, please let us know, especially if you’re interested in getting involved in leadership!
AnthroCircle will have open officer positions for the 2021-2022 academic year. Please get in touch with us if you’re interested in joining the leadership team!
