The Fall 2012 Langford Family Seminar will be held on Saturday, November 10, and will set its sights on Pliny the Elder, the prodigious polymath who (his nephew, the younger Pliny, tells us) never read a book no matter how bad without deriving some benefit from it.

The Classics Department will be sponsoring the 92nd anniversary meeting of the Southern Section of the Classical Association of the Middle West and South.

2012 marked the first year that the Department awarded undergraduate translation prizes in Greek and Latin.

Four graduate students in the Department have been awarded Langadas Fellowships for 2012. Two of the four, Marci Boyd and Reema Habib, are students in the Ph.D. program, while the two others, Katie Cook and Destini Price, are M.A. students.

Daniel Pullen was interviewed by the AIA for his recent publication, The Early Bronze Age Village on Tsoungiza Hill (Nemea Valley Archaeological Project I).
