Did you know there is still time to register for workshops at the AAA Annual Meeting in San Francisco?  There are twenty-five workshops sponsored by various sections of AAA with ten of those workshops offered by the National Association for the Practice of Anthropology (NAPA).  Workshops are scheduled from Thursday, November 15, 2012 through Saturday, November 17, 2012.  You can register on-site, but why not guarantee your seat by registering online at http://www.aaanet.org/meetings/Workshops.cfm?  Alternatively, there is a direct link on the main webpage of the AAA website at http://www.aaanet.org/index.cfm to workshops registration with complete workshops descriptions.  I look forward to seeing you in San Francisco!

It’s Montreal Monday!

The AAA 110th Annual Meeting will take place this year in Montréal, Quebec, Canada from November 16-20, 2011. Now is the time to renew your membership, pre-register for the Annual Meeting, book your hotel,  and add the workshops to your itinerary.

At the AAA Annual Meeting, Saturday is coined Student Saturday for the many activities and programming offered with student interests in mind. Back by popular demand, the Graduate School Fair will feature a variety of anthropology programs. And this year a session entitled, Top 10 Tips for Getting a  Job in Anthropology will feature Carol J. Ellick and Joe E. Watkins, authors of The Anthropology Graduate’s Guide: From student to a career.

What are two other events that would be of particular interest to all students that are occurring on that Saturday?

E-mail your answer to americananthro@gmail.com by the end of today.

Two lucky people with the correct answer will win an Annual Meeting messenger bag from the new AAA Café Press shop. Winning answers will be announced here later in the week, so check back often.
