Anthropology Alumni
Marty Gonzalez has generously agreed to be our departmental liaison to our alumni group. Currently, we are wanting to set up a social networking opportunity through our website, connecting our current students to our alumni. If you would like to participate, please send your information either to the anthropology department via Libby Azevedo (azevedo@csulb.edu), or to Marty Gonzalez at geomarty@aol.com. We need: your name, graduation year, focus in anthropology (if you have/had one), your current position, and your contact information (phone number, work address, email contact).
