About SCASC The Anthropology Department at the University of South Carolina would like to invite students to participate in the South Carolina Anthropology Student Conference on April 24th, 2010 at the Columbia campus of the University of South Carolina.

This conference will feature student presenters at both the undergraduate and graduate level and will provide a friendly forum to practice submitting a proposal and presenting a conference paper or academic poster. This forum also allows for students to receive constructive feedback from fellow students and professors on their work in progress. Finally, this venue encourages students in anthropology from across the state of South Carolina to get together and discuss their research. Attendance of this event is open to the public.
