November 13: Virginia Undergraduate Research Symposium in Classics (Online)

This year marks the 13th Annual Virginia Undergraduate Research Symposium in Classics, an event that showcases the very best in undergraduate research being done in Classics throughout the Commonwealth. The event lasts from 2-5 pm, is free, and is open to the public. If you have students who would like to present research at the event, please contact me. Students who present are invited to attend the CAV Spring Meeting free of charge.

As you can see, with so many excellent programs, Classics is alive and well in the Commonwealth! I hope to see you at these programs and wish you all the best as the school year kicks off!

Curate ut valeatis!
