UF-registered Student Groups
Undergraduate Florida Anthropological Student Association (uFASA)
The Undergraduate Florida Anthropology Student Association (uFASA) is an all-inclusive club for students with an interest in anthropology, regardless of major, GPA, or class standing. One of our main goals is to expose students to all anthropology has to offer, including career options both within and outside academia. Each February, uFASA and Lambda Alpha host a celebration for World Anthropology Day featuring anthropologists from around the Gainesville and UF community. If you have any questions about joining or getting involved with Anthropology, please contact the executive board.
Lambda Alpha
Lambda Alpha is open to all students with a 2.5 GPA overall and 3.0 GPA in at least 12 credits of Anthropology coursework. The purpose of this honors society is to encourage and stimulate scholarship and research in anthropology by recognizing and honoring superior achievement in the discipline. Within this organization, there are leadership opportunities in the Delta Chapter at the University of Florida. Society members receive the Lambda Alpha newsletter, an opportunity to apply for Lambda Alpha scholarships and other benefits. Induction of new members takes place in both fall and spring.
Emic
Emic is a magazine run out of UF’s Anthropology Department and staffed by a team of students across a broad selection of majors. Emic is a mixed-media ‘zine focused on bolstering the original works of undergraduates through a digital platform. The magazine brings art, writing, and editorials together to explore and communicate themes of abstract human experiences. If you are interested in participating as part of the Emic design or editorial team, please reach out through our socials, our email, or to Dr. Stephanie Bogart.
