Voices of Hope Lexington visited EKU's campus to share an Overdose Response Training with EKU students. Voices of Hope is founded by people who have experienced substance use disorder firsthand and works to help people find and stay in recovery. Recovery Coach Amanda Sullivan shared how to identify an overdose situation and how to appropriately respond and administer Narcan.

EKU Anthropology students attended the annual DOPE+ 2024 conference to learn more about interdisciplinary research within environmental studies. DOPE (Dimensions of Political Ecology) is hosted by the Political Ecology Working Group, an interdisciplinary group of graduate students at the University of Kentucky.

Each autumn, archaeologists descend upon the Red River Gorge to celebrate Living Archaeology Weekend. This year, EKU anthropology students attended the event with Associate Professor Jon Endonino. 

The event uses archaeological demonstrations to share knowledge about Native and Pioneer lives and technologies, hosted at the Gladie Visitor Center. 

Four EKU Anthropology students earned awards in the Spring 2023. Sarah Neuspickel was honored as the annual Distinguished Anthropology graduate for her excellence in scholarship and mentoring EKU Anthropology students.
