| Abstract: | The College Assistance Migrant Program (CAMP) is a US Department of Education funded initiative to support students from migrant/seasonal farmworker backgrounds--i.e., students whose families travel seasonally to work in agriculture--during their first year as undergraduates. This article shares authors' experience of using insights from anthropology to design, develop, and evaluate CAMP at our university. A key element of this program is that students are trained in research methods inspired by anthropology, which they then use to explore the stories and knowledge found in their own families and communities. An anthropological perspective has also allowed the authors to get many different people invested in promoting and documenting the success of CAMP, including undergraduate and graduate student researchers and program alumni and staff.
