For Undergraduates
Meet Our Students
Kyle Bocinsky
Kyle will be spending this summer in Chicago on a joint Notre Dame/Field Museum internship in archaeology. Few students have embraced our major with such enthusiasm, drawing on the many research and educational opportunities available during his four years in our department. He has helped design museum displays, completed research in archaeological chemistry for an honors thesis, received grant funding for his activities, and presented his work at professional meetings. Kyle’s interests were evident early – one professor proclaimed his sophomore project as a “virtuoso performance!”
Kyle will be moving on to graduate school next semester, taking an arsenal of skills that he has developed here at Notre Dame. We anticipate that his good humor and delight in anthropology will flourish in his graduate studies.

I have to admit that both of my parents attended Notre Dame, though there was absolutely no pressure for me to do the same! ND was the only school I applied to, though I looked at all the top schools in the country. I felt ND would allow me to have a serious academic experience while surrounded by extremely bright peers who realized there was something more to a college and learning experience than what happens in the classroom. I haven’t been disappointed.

Frank Vento
Currently, I am working with Professor Kuijt, and Professor Schurr on a research project in Ireland funded by a UROP grant. More specifically, I am involved in remote sensing of various cultural sites and determining their archaeological potential through the use of geophysics. While I am still currently involved with the project, I have had an incredible time both collecting data and experiencing various aspects of field research. Getting involved with further anthropology projects, both domestically and abroad, is something that I will definitely continue to be a part of at Notre Dame.
