Our very own Ruth Phillips (ICSLAC and SSAC), has received the 2015 Lifetime Achievement/Distinguished Service Award from the Council for Museum Anthropology (CMA). This is a new award for the CMA to recognize members whose careers demonstrate extraordinary achievements that have advanced museum anthropology and all nominations are evaluated based on the nominee’s impact to the disciple of museum anthropology; their service provided to specific museums and their work in mentoring and influencing or inspiring the careers of students and colleagues.
Congratulations from all of us, Ruth on achieving this level of recognition!
