The Sapiens Symposium is an event dedicated to a collaboration of student knowledge concerning issues of human experience and interaction. Through the exchange of wisdom, the Sapiens Symposium serves as a platform for like-minded individuals to present and discuss topics that each find important to their respective field of study. It is in the hopes of its organizers that the Sapiens Symposium will cultivate an increased awareness of and tolerance for the many facets of the human condition in a global village.

* The Sapiens Symposium is a great opportunity to gain experience presenting your own research to your peers and distinguished professionals.

* Also a great opportunity to put the final touches on your research for those considering presenting at the Central States Anthropological Society conference in March 2008 in Indianapolis, Indiana, or submitting their paper for the Anthropology department’s Ibn Battuta award.

* You will have a unique chance for your peers and faculty to comment on your research in an open atmosphere of constructive criticism, offering suggestions for improvement and comments on excellence.

Open to ALL Anthropology, American Ethnic Studies, International Studies, Cultural Studies, and Women’s Studies Majors.

This is the second year the Anthropology Club has put this on.  Last year we had a fantastic turn out and are hoping this year will be even better.  If anyone belongs to the American Ethnic Studies, International Studies, Cultural Studies, and/or Women’s Studies listservs or departments, please feel free to forward this message onward. We look forward to hearing from a diverse group of students here at K-State and we hope you all will take the opportunity to share your interests with your fellow students.
