Ohio State is in the process of revising websites and program materials to accurately reflect compliance with the law. While this work occurs, language referencing protected class status or other activities prohibited by Ohio Senate Bill 1 may still appear in some places. However, all programs and activities are being administered in compliance with federal and state law.

Letter for a 1st-Year Anthropology Student

The Department of Anthropology offers a new course - ANTHROP 3005: Careers with Anthropology - which helps students from all sub-fields of anthropology develop professional skills in preparation for life after graduation. Specifically, it focuses on the ways in which students can apply anthropological concepts, research methodologies, and analytical skills in a wide range of careers.

One of the homework assignments is to write a letter to a first-year anthropology student, in which students could either write a letter to their past self or a current first-year student with advice about preparing for careers with anthropology while in college. The assignment synthesized some of the lessons from the courses.
