We strive to teach others while having fun about the field of Anthropology, which includes the subfields of: Cultural, Linguistic, Physical Anthropology/ Forensic Anthropology and Archaeology. In our club, we do club meetings to discuss future events, for example, field trips, tours, or anything Anthropology-related. Also, we are open to suggestions/opinions of what students or faculty wants to do in our club. Some of our field trips include: the Bishop Museum, the Medical Examiner's Office, UH Manoa, the zoo, and tours around JPAC-CIL at Joint Base Pearl Harbor-Hickam, the Honouliuli Internment and POW Camp at Kunia, and other places of interest on Oahu. UHWO has offered two archaeological field schools. One at Waianae and the other at the Honouliuli Internment and POW Camp. The Waianae archaeological field school is taught by Dr. Ross Cordy (Hawaiian-Pacific Studies professor and Hawaiian/Pacific archaeologist). Waianae is full of Hawaiian artifacts and history. UHWO in the summer for three years (2010-2012) and now every two years since 2014 has offered an archaeological field school at the Honouliuli Internment and POW Camp. This field school is useful for people interested in archaeology and for future employment. You can find a lot of WWII artifacts including beer bottles, and metal pipes! Many previous field archaeology students return to volunteer the following year or go back there whenever possible. If you are curious, the link to the page of the Honouliuli Internment and POW Camp is found here. We also have yearly officer elections for: Club President, Vice President, Secretary, Treasurer and Publicity Chair. We do campus events as well: including the yearly Ice Cream Social, Mardi Gras Day, West Oahu Day, and the annual dinner to introduce the new Lamda Alpha honor students. We are very interested in job openings, field/graduate schools or future events related to Anthropology. If you have any, let us know! Please also visit our Tumblr page as well! The link is in this basic information section.
