“As a high school student, overwhelmed by countless academic paths but driven by my desire to impact underprivileged communities positively, I found anthropology. My multicultural background amplified my curiosity about human societies, which led to my discovery and love for Anthropology, particularly Digital Anthropology. This field allowed me to explore humanity's digital evolution, from online societies to cryptocurrencies and digital personas. Embarking on this journey reinforced that choosing the right undergraduate school is a deeply personal decision requiring reflection and research. Despite the challenges, I am thrilled and empowered by my anthropological journey and am committed to contributing to this dynamic field for my long-term career aspirations. I AM AAA.”

While we remain deeply saddened by the devastating impact of the recent hurricanes in Florida and wish for a swift recovery, the Tampa Convention Center and the hotels hosting our Annual Meeting in Tampa from November 20-23 have confirmed they are "open and fully operational." We look forward to supporting the residents of Tampa and seeing you there, either in person or virtually. View a list of organizations accepting donations in Florida.
