Looking Back, Projecting Forward
75th Anniversary Commemorative Events

In Fall 2009, the University of Hawai’i Department of Anthropology will celebrate its 75th anniversary. We are planning a full slate of activities with the theme, “UHAnth75: Looking Back, Projecting Forward.”

Events include special Colloquia throughout the Fall Semester and a special Day-Long Symposium and Evening Banquet on Saturday, October 24, held in conjunction with the annual meeting of the Society for Hawaiian Archaeology:

• The Fall Colloquium series will present panel discussions focusing on the past, present and future contributions of the Manoa Anthropology program to several subfields of anthropology. FREE.
• October 24 – Day-long symposium and evening banquet. Click to see the complete program for the day. The symposium is free and open to the public; the registration deadline has passed for the evening banquet.

Castle Resorts and Hotels is offering special rates for our event. Just mention "Anthropology 75th Anniversary" when making your reservations. See the attached flyer for more information. If you have any questions regarding these accommodations, please contact Elaine Nakahashi at elainen@hawaii.edu or call 808-956-8415.

We hope that everyone will join us on October 24. It promises to be a fun-filled, memorable event. See old friends! Meet new faculty and students!

If you are on O’ahu, we hope that you will join us throughout the semester for the panel discussions.
