Job Opportunity Impact has immediate openings in CO, NM, and AZ! From the Grand Canyon to the George Washington National Forest, our parks, forests, and public lands are a big part of what makes this country so great. They’re where we go to spend time outdoors with our families and friends, to hike, bike, fish and see wild animals. But these areas are under attack. Interior Secretary Ryan Zinke has recommended that President Donald Trump eliminate parts of four national monuments, including Bears Ears National Monument in Utah, and open six other national monuments to commercial industry that threatens the land, water and wildlife. We need to build public support, especially in the west where most of our large national monuments ares. Our decision-makers are hearing from commercial interests, they need to hear from us. That’s where Impact comes in. We are hiring organizers to start immediately, building the public support and getting the media attention we need to keep our special places protected. Organizers will work across the Southwest, from Arizona, to New Mexico, to Colorado, building grassroots support by collecting petitions and organizing education and action events to help people understand how important our public lands are. Apply today at weareimpact.org. Direct your cover letter to Len Montgomery, Southwest Organizing Director. Impact is a team of organizers, working on behalf of groups like PIRG and Environment America. With Impact, you’ll go to the places that can decide whether we win or lose a campaign. And by engaging the media, building new coalitions, and activating civic leaders or student activists, you’ll set the stage for winning the next campaign. One district, one state at a time, Impact aims to move the dial in American politics in a positive direction. During the summer, you’ll direct a campaign office, building the organization by canvassing and training others to canvass. And you’ll recruit the next wave of Impact organizers and interns so we can continue to work on more campaigns. SGPP Undergraduate Newsletter Page 12

Announcements Forensic Anthropology This class has been approved to count towards the Criminal Justice Major. This class is available for all students. Class: ANTH 395D, 002 - Special Topics in Biological Anthropology — under notes it says "Forensic Anthropology" Instructor: Dr. Robin Reineke (Reineke@email.arizona.edu) Time: Wednesdays, 5:00 – 7:30 PM Location: Haury 129 Credits: Worth 3 credits. Credits are currently llsted as “variable”. When registering make sure you change credits to “3” as it is a regular course worth 3 credits. No prerequisites required! Description: This course provides an introduction to the field of Forensic Anthropology through lectures, discussion, guest interviews with local practitioners, and hands-on experience with skeletal remains. Forensic Anthropology, a specialization within Physical Anthropology, is applied in the modern medicolegal context to address questions relating to the cause of death or identity of decedents. This course will cover the history, significance, and various applications of the field, including domestic casework, mass disaster settings, and human rights abuse contexts. It will cover introductory human osteology and odontology, methods for the recovery and location of human remains, the biological profile, and the basic methods forensic anthropologists use to determine identity and cause of death. In addition to a basic understanding of human skeletal biology and examination methods, students will come away with a broad understanding of the field of forensic anthropology, as well as related disciplines in the medicolegal and human rights settings. Let either Dr. Reineke or myself know if you have questions! If you are outside your priority registration window, I’d be happy to register you for this class. Just let me know (anns@email.arizona.edu).
Best, Ann Ann Samuelson, M.A, Anthropology Academic Advisor, Sr.
