WKU anthropology major Hannah Banks will graduate on Saturday with three unique applied learning experiences that will hopefully pave the way for her future. “I thought that I had so many opportunities to do so many different things here that I wanted to get my feet wet,” Banks said. “And I wanted to be a well-rounded anthropologist and not just be able to talk about one sub-discipline.”
The three unique experiences include working as an archaeology field technician at Mammoth Cave National Park, participating in an archaeology field school in Mongolia, and completing an independent research project on autoimmune disease.
Banks also acknowledges four anthropology professors for their impact on her success. “Without them, I would not have been able to participate in any of these activities so I am very thankful for them and the opportunities that they presented me.”
