The goal of the Student Section is to promote the interests and resources of the Paleoanthropology Society within the student community. It is designed to encourage student membership and participation within the Society, and provide a source for student-specific information regarding the study and application of Paleoanthropology. The idea for creating the student section was posed and agreed upon by the attending Paleoanthropology Society members and officers at the 2007 Paleoanthropology Society business meeting in Philadelphia.
