Anthropology

Your gift on Giving Day will support the Department of Anthropology through the Keith Kanbe Memorial Fund and the George C. Frison Memorial Fund.

The George C. Frison Memorial Fund – George C. Frison Memorial Fund was created to honor of Dr. Frison, a Wyoming native and a giant in the field or archaeology and anthropology. Donations to this endowed fund will go directly to supporting critical archaeological and anthropological research in the West, topics that were near-and-dear to Dr. Frison’s heart.

The Keith Kanbe Memorial Scholarship Fund – Keith Kanbe served UW for 40 years, finishing his career in the Department of Anthropology. While he was a UW student, Keith received the Jill Bush Memorial Scholarship and never forgot the difference it made in helping him earn his degree. At the time of his death, Keith had just finished his 40th year working at UW. Keith was adored by all of the Anthropology students and known for his warmth and friendliness, his sense of humor, and his helpfulness. This scholarship fund is one small way we hope to honor a beloved University of Wyoming staff member. 

Thank you for honoring the UW legacies of George Frison and Keith Kanbe and supporting Anthropology students!
