Undergraduate Anthropology Association

The UAA is an undergraduate association with a range of members from freshmen to seniors. Attending UAA meetings (typically Thursdays at 5:15p in the LRC) is the best way to become familiar with other anthropology students and to find out what is going on in the antrhopology department at UT. The officers include helpful representatives for archaeology, cultural, and physical anthropology who are happy to answer any questions pertaining to their areas of interest.

UAA Purpose: to encourage learning; to promote a community within the Anthropology Department for undergraduates, graduates, and faculty; to introduce students to professors and give them a chance to interact with others through lectures, trips, socials, fundraisers, and other events. UAA Charter
