Requirements COMPLEMENTARY EXPERIENCESIt is important for students to take advantage of the wonderful opportunities available on the College Park campus and nearby. There are many ways to explore your interests on campus, all of which will enhance your major and your undergraduate education. Life experiences, including the ability to interact with different types of people and to function successfully in new situations, are integral to your success after graduation. Employers looking at your resume want to see a well-rounded student, and they value evidence of extracurricular involvement. Get engaged! If you are already involved in one of the following activities, choose another and take a chance. Try contacting a student group that you would not normally think about joining, or going to an event that you know nothing about. Step out of your comfort zone and enjoy what the campus has to offer. After graduation, continue to challenge yourself through one of the numerous programs stressing service to various communities.

Representatives of the ASA participate directly in departmental and faculty meetings. The ASA has a small meeting room and lounge in Woods Hall 0102, and notices pertaining to ASA meetings are posted outside the room as well as on the undergraduate student listserv. Students who do not receive messages from the listserv should contact the Undergraduate Advisor to be listed. ASA Mission Statement The ASA promotes the discipline of anthropology and appreciation of diversity through academic and social pursuits. ASA provides anthropology students as well as the entire university community opportunities to explore the specific vocation and relevance of anthropology in the world, with guest lectures, films, experiential learning trips and cultural celebrations! 2006-2007 Officers: President: Sara Rothenberg Meetings for FALL 2006: ASA Lounge, Room 0100 Woods Hall, Time To Be Announced Please contact marylandasa@yahoo.com for additional information.
