Hello, Students!  On November 6, Saturday, we have our annual Expanding Your 
Horizons (EYH) program sponsored by the Women's Studies Department at UTA.  Dr. 
Dana Austin and I are each teaching 2 workshops that morning to encourage the 
6th-8th grade girls in studies of math and science.  Here are our topics.  


   Skeleton Walk Learn fundamentals of forensic anthropology and other forensic 
sciences. Dr. Dana Austin, Forensic Anthropologist     The Case of the Missing 
Face Learn how forensic artists put clay on skulls to make facial 
reconstructions that will help identify people and solve crimes.  Suzanne 
Baldon, Forensic Artist 

 
Several people have offered to help us and we'd love to have a few more 
volunteers, please.  I always need at least one volunteer at each work station.  
The girls work in teams of 4 around a work station consisting of a skull model 
on a stand, clay tools, and clay.  We have less than an hour to guide about 20 
girls through the facial reconstruction on the skull model.  I show how to put 
on the skin and add each feature according to our formulae and the volunteers 
help the girls to follow these directions.  No prior experience is required as 
volunteers always pick up the instructions quickly.  If you have volunteered 
with me before, that's great, too!  

 
Dr. Austin has several work stations for the girls that guide them through 
identification of bones (human or animal?), analysing pelvic bones (male or 
female?), and other fascinating forensic fundamentals.  If you are available to 
help us, please contact Roxanne Buil in the Women's Studies Dept and tell her 
that you'd like to volunteer with me (Suzanne Baldon) or Dr. Austin, 
specifically.  Also, please email us to let us know you're volunteering.
