Kimberly Swisher (BA, Anthropology 2013) is a graduate student in Archaeology at the University of Michigan and reflects on her time and training in archaeology in our department.

She writes: "It was my foundation in the anthropology department at Ohio State that solidified and validated my desire to be an archaeologist. My professors did so much more than just teach me. They were always there for me and fostered my passion for archaeology. As a young, enthusiastic undergraduate they always made time for me no matter how busy they were with their own research. I was important to them. They cared about me and my desire to be a fellow archaeologist. It was this shared enthusiasm for archaeology, this excitement for the past, and caring that made me realize that archaeology and academia were my calling."
