Travel Advisory: UGAT Conference, Cagayan de Oro (CDO)

Travel Advisory from our Conference Host

Cagayan de Oro's Airport is in Laguindingan (between CDO and Iligan City), and 45 minutes away from Cagayan de Oro City.

From Laguindingan, participants could take a taxi at P500.00 to Cagayan de Oro or take the shuttle vans (priced at 150-199.00). Most of these vans are "door-to-door" and could take some time before the participant reach Cagayan de Oro. I suggest they take either Lax Shuttle or Magnum Express and then get off at Centrio/Ayala Mall.

Centrio/Ayala Mall is about 100 meters away from Capitol University. Seda Hotel is in Centrio. Budgetel is right in front of Capitol University along Corrales Extension. For guests staying at Mallberry Hotel they could take the Magnum Express because the terminal of Magnum is at Limketkai Mall, very near Mallberry.

Please advise participants to take their current and valid ID cards (passport for foreigners) with clear photos. There could be 1-2 checkpoints along the way. Policemen at these checkpoints are generally nice and respectful, so there is no need to worry.

WCAA Global Survey on Anthropological Practice

Dear UGAT members and practitioners of Anthropology,

Greetings! UGAT, as a member of the World Council of Anthropological Associations (WCAA), is administering the Global Survey of Anthropological Practice (GSAP). This is an on-line survey for all member associations of the WCAA from October 17, 2017 to January 31, 2018 only.  All UGAT members (whether past active members or in current standing) are encouraged to please participate in the survey.

The survey can be answered by clicking the link: https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/6NWPRG7

The aim of the Global Survey is to compile information on the contemporary state of anthropology as an international profession. The survey will collect information about the demographic characteristics of anthropologists, their qualifications and employment status, the nature of their work, and the thematic and regional focus of their expertise. The results will feed into ongoing reviews of anthropological practice globally, including teaching and learning issues, professional development and under-employment. (More information about the objective of the survey is also available on the survey link)

The survey is a significant opportunity to learn more about the current state of our community of practice: who we are, what we do, and where we do it.

Thank you for taking the time to answer the survey! Please forward this message to all concerned.

Thank you very much,

Ugnayang Pang-Aghamtao, Inc. (UGAT)
