This spring four Anthropology students were the recipients of anthropology fellowships. They were honored at the annual honors reception that the Department of Sociology & Anthropology puts on every spring. The event was held at the Blacklock House this year.
Maggie Jordan received the Anthropology Fieldwork Fellowship. She has also recently been inducted into Lamba Alpha, the honor society for Anthropology majors. This summer Margaret will participate in the Field School for Quarternary Palaeonanthropology and Prehistory at Sima de las Palomas del Cabezo Gordo in Murcia, Spain.
Ashley Woodcock also received the Anthropology Fieldwork Fellowship and was also inducted into Lambda Alpha this spring. Ashley will be attending the field school run by the Maya Research Program this summer. She will work at the Cam Balam Nal site at Blue Creek.
Sarah Vande Kamp received the Catherine Wood Parker Fellowship. She has been invited to become a member of the Willendorf II excavation team this summer. She will be working in the Austrian Danube valley in the town of de Wachau, Austria.

We congratulate these students for their hard work in their major.
