- Learn about your Anthropology and Global Health courses, available internships, study abroad opportunities, career paths and more.
- Get a sneak peak of campus facilities and classrooms, and find cool spots to study, eat or hang out with friends.
- Explore campus and the surrounding area so you know how to get around before classes begin.
- Engage with scholars from the School of Human Evolution and Social Change and our many affiliated research centers.
- Global Health students will have the opportunity to meet with their faculty you'll be studying with and get a tour of our labs.
