Thank you Dr. George Leader for sharing your incredible documentary “Across the Namib” with us last night. Your 12-day trek across the desert was awe-inspiring and jaw-dropping and will change archaeological study of the region for years to come.

What better way to learn about history than to live it? Our April 26’ Student Spotlight is highlighting history major and archaeology minor, Colin Helkowski ‘28, who spent part of his spring break reenacting with a Revolutionary War group. He plans to join more reenactments as a great way to experience and understand history. This fun hobby helps us see anthropology in action, as history informs how we understand humans today.
