Student Opportunities

I have been involved with the Janos Archaeological Project, a collaborative field project between the University of Missouri-Columbia and the University of North Florida. The project is designed to provide information about the political organization and religion of the Medio period Casas Grandes system, and to provide students with additional archaeological fieldwork experience.

MU Programs for Undergraduates

The Department of Anthropology offers Research Skills in Anthropology (Anthropology 2950) and Honors Research in Anthropology (Anthropology 4950GH ) for which students conduct research with a faculty member and receive course credit.

Graduate students are welcome to contact me about my Research. In addition, the University of Missouri has a Life Sciences Fellowship Program that provides substantial support for top incoming graduate students with adequate preparation in the biological sciences.
