How are you practicing anthropology in your personal or professional life after Skidmore?
Over the years, many alumni have shared experiences using anthropological perspectives and skills while engaging with the arts, business endeavors, cultural resource management, educational programs, environmental protection, law careers, museum exhibitions, nonprofit organizations, public health and much more. We hear from alumni living across the United States and quite a few who find opportunities in other countries, including India, Mexico, South Africa, and Switzerland.
Faculty and students on campus would like to hear more about the opportunities to apply anthropology in a career, a graduate program, and while traveling and living in culturally diverse contexts.
We also know that in the current intercultural and international context, anthropology has served alumni well. The latest economic downturn also presented challenges requiring creative approaches to developing rewarding careers and meaningful personal lives.
When sharing your experiences, please also share your images, face book links, and relevant web sites.
Guiding questions: To comment, you can consider responding to one or more questions (taken from Skidmore's "Living the Liberal Arts" program).
