Departmental Tea: 1:45 p.m. Wednesday in the Common Room
Murphey Hall continues to be home for high-achieving undergraduates!
The Classical Association of the Middle West and South has honored Caitlin Hines with a Manson A. Stewart Scholarship. One of six undergraduates recognized for being "outstanding young Classicists," Caitlin will use the $1,000 award to further her Classical studies here.
Also, Caitlin, Rachel Mazzara, and Henry Ross were inducted into the University's Phi Beta Kappa chapter for their exceptional academics.
We congratulate these promising juniors for their great accomplishments!
The department is excited to share that Prof. Donald Haggis has garnered the Archaeological Institute of America's Best Practices in Site Preservation Award for the Azoria Project in Crete, Greece. Co-director Margaret Mook and Prof. Haggis work with local specialists to preserve the site as they excavate, creating a sustainable eco-archaeological tourist site. We applaud their innovative work, and invite you to learn more about and to support the Azoria Project.
The Department traditionally gathers for tea and light snacks in the late afternoon once a week. Tea is organized by the Tea Tsar(ina), a graduate student duly elected each year by the graduate and post-baccalaureate students, and graduate students volunteer to bring food.
