For the last year I served as the Director of the graduate student run Anthropology Outreach Program. This is a free education program available to school groups in our local Northern California area that provides workshops on evolution, archaeology, and paleoanthropology.
Throughout the entire year we hosted a total of 10 school groups! This meant we were able to reach nearly 450 students and 70 chaperones/teachers ranging from Kindergarten to Seniors, with the majority of our groups ranging between 5th and 7th grade!
