Outstanding Senior Award
At Graduation ceremonies each Spring semester, the Department recognizes the outstanding work of three graduating seniors in the Anthropology major by awarding the Outstanding Senior Award. These three awards are Outstanding Senior in Archaeology, Outstanding Senior in Bio-Anthropology, and Outstanding Senior in Cultural Anthropology. The faculty determine the winners of the Outstanding Senior Award each year based on our evaluation of the body of work produced by the students over his or her career at UNCG.

Kupferer-Outwin Award
The late Dr. Harriet J. Kupferer taught for 23 years at UNCG and was the first Head of the Department. In 2006, Dr. Kupferer generously established an endowed fund for the advancement of the professional development of faculty and students within the Department of Anthropology. Named in honor of her parents, Gene and Helen Outwin Kupferer, this fund provides support for professional travel for both students and faculty members in our Department, and we are very grateful to Dr. Kupferer for her generosity and her dedication to the advancement of generations of students and faculty members in the Department of Anthropology at UNCG.
