Iron Cage Society
Tuesdays at 5:00 p.m. in Chafee 501 (our very own Iron Cage)
Welcome to the home of the Iron Cage Society, the spot for sociology majors, minors, and hangers-on to get together for fun, edification, and to make our corner of the world a bit more
humane and livable.
There lots of things brewing – film nights, career workshops, informal chats with the faculty, research opportunities, and who knows what else. Maybe even a field trip or two.
You'll want to get actively involved...
Oh, the Iron Cage Society. Max Weber asked "who will live in that iron cage in the future?" Well, that would be us. And, of course, we've all spent so much time in Chafee 501 that it is a pretty good approximation of an iron cage itself.
So, rattle the bars of your life and join the rest of us Iron Cagers. We meet each Tuesday at 5:00 p.m. in Chafee 501. See you there!
Our current project is organizing a Relay for Life team to participate in the University-wide effort to raise money for research intended to find cures for cancer.
You can get all the information at the Relay for Life site, although the team is called by its domesticated name, the Sociology Club. So, join the squad or make a contribution to this important effort.
If you need more information about the Iron Cagers or about the Relay for Life, contact the chief specialist with spirit and sensualist with heart, Mike Cichowicz.

Anthropology Honor Society
URI Anthropology students have been chartered as the Alpha Rhode Island Chapter of Lamda Alpha, the national anthropology honor society. This is a tribute to the hard work of several students and to the academic excellence of our majors and our faculty. Right now, the recruitment of charter members is underway. If you're interested in being one of the first Lamda Alphas, shoot off an email to Ashley Waggoner for all the details.
The URI Anthropology Society is also up and running. Check out their page too.
