Hello everyone,

Thanks to everyone who came to the Classics Society Kickoff! Erin and I are so excited by your enthusiasm! We're sure this year is going to be fantastic.

Here are some of the things that we talked about and our upcoming events:
  • Modern Resources for Ancient Information: A Classics Society Workshop. We'll show you how to use some of the most important e-resources for your classics classes. You can register here: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/viewform?fromEmail=true&formkey=dFNsM0JVYi1YMnl1Tlg2VjB3OWp4OEE6MQ.

    • Requirements:
      • No university emblems or symbols permitted, except for unaltered images of Bucky
      • Must include "Classics" or "Classics Society"
      • No more than 2 colors
    • Otherwise, the field is yours! Have fun! 
  • Classics Society Game Night! We'd like to design our own classics-themed board game. Current ideas include Risk themed for the Roman Empire and Settlers of Rome (based on Settlers of Catan). If you have an idea or would like to help design the game, shoot us an email!
We'll have some other events coming up later this semester, such as a Symposium (potluck toga party) and Saturnalia (holiday party)! There will be plenty of email updates in the coming weeks, but you can also check our website or Facebook page. 

We look forward to seeing you soon!
