UP Anthropological Society

UP ANTHROPOLOGICAL SOCIETY


A Brief History

The society had its beginnings during the first semester of 1963-64, when Dr. Mario Zamora, Chair man of the Department of Anthropology, and seven anthropology majors sat together and informally organized, an association for anthropology students.

During the first semester of the next school year, the UP Anthropological Society was formally founded and was recognized by the UCCSOA two months after its formal organization. From a nucleus of anthropology majors, the society extended its membership to students of other disciplines who are interested in anthropology.

OBJECTIVES

A. To promote on exchange of ideas and experiences of anthropological interest among the members of the society and to foster closer ties among them.

B. To generate and promote a better understanding and interest in the science of anthropology among other students and faculty members of the university.
