The mission of this club is t
o enrich the Wheaton Community by hosting events, films, speakers and performers that embrace diversity, support multiculturalism and global perspectives, and encourage cross-cultural learning in a manner that will internationalize the Wheaton Community.

Club members generally fund-raise each year to attend the national and regional professional anthropology meetings. The Wheaton College Anthropology club is an affiliate of the American Anthropological Association.
