Hi. My name is Crae Wilkins.
I'm a junior, studying Anthropology at Binghamton University . . .
and, I'm going to tell you about my major in 60 seconds.
I chose this major because I've always been really interested in people, but not only just the people . . .
but how they influence history and what we can learn from them, and what they leave behind, as we move forward.
My favorite class so far, has actually been  an independent study I've done, where I've gotten to work with prehistoric stone tools from the American Southwest.
And, it's been really engaging to see how we can learn from people, so far back.
Outside of the classroom, I am involved with volunteer research in archaeology labs . . .
working with professors.
Anything I really can to try and increase my academic presence and research presence, in the University.
The one thing that surprised me about this major was that I've been able to get to work with so many different professors . . .
in so many different fields and they're all really a student faculty . . .
so it's really great to engage with people who really know what they're talking about.
In five to ten years, I see myself doing more field research, writing papers, getting involved in academia . . .
whatever I can to just increase the research that's out there in the world.
And, that's been the Anthropology major at Binghamton University, in 60 seconds.
