Students in the Department
The Department of Sociology and Anthropology looks for student participation in all aspects of its work as student aides or as student representatives to the department.
STUDENT AIDES
Each year the department employs four or five students to work as departmental aides. Aides do not need to be majors in the department; any interested student is welcome to apply. Student aides perform a variety of clerical and office tasks under the supervision of Dora Minor, Departmental Secretary, and members of the faculty. Applicants should have word-processing skills and ideally be familiar with MS Word and WordPerfect. One aide will be assigned to the computer lab in Monroe 105 for five hours a week. Aides usually work between five and seven hours a week, depending on funding. To apply as a student aide for the coming academic year, please contact Margaret Huber , the Department Chair, or Ms Dora Minor , the secretary, by the first week of April.
STUDENT REPRESENTATIVES
Majors elect students as department representatives, three from sociology and two from anthropology, to represent student concerns to the department faculty and to the Academic Affairs Council of Student Government. Representatives attend Department meetings and meetings of the Academic Affairs Council. The representatives may organize other department activities throughout the year as well. Students hold elections for representatives in April. If you would like to run for office, please contact a faculty member. If there are concerns you would like to see addressed, be sure to contact the current student representatives.
