Please join us in congratulating the following students for exceptionally well-researched, well-written, and creative projects submitted for a course or capstone during the 2020 calendar year!

They have shown exceptional resilience and creativity, crafting projects which help us think anthropologically about how we learn and share knowledge in the university. Below are just a couple of examples of how undergraduate students in our courses this past year have expressed their thoughtful ingenuity. Enjoy!
