Michigan Anthropology Graduate Students (MAGS) is a student organization composed of and dedicated to serving graduate students at all stages of their progress through the Department of Anthropology. Specifically, our goals are: To foster community and a network of peer support for anthropology graduate students through a combination of social events, activism, and professional development initiatives. To provide a space for connection across the four subfields where graduate students can stay informed about departmental news, learn about the work and experiences of their colleagues, and uphold a broad and inclusive understanding of anthropology as a field. To advocate for graduate students in departmental affairs and maintain avenues for student representation in departmental governance. To support and collaborate with other student organizations within Anthropology.
