Anth-Help Mentorship Program


AGAS and the UAAU (University of Alberta Anthropology Undergraduates) have partnered to form a mentorship program that connect students together. This program is designed to connect potential and current undergraduate and graduate students with graduate students currently in the program to get advice on things like grad school applications, grant applications, CV writing, field schools, prospectus writing, thesis defense preparation, and much more! 


Fill out the form under "Ask an Anthro Student" on the department's website or email anthhelp@ualberta.ca your question and we will forward it on to a grad student with the expertise to help you!
