This Week in Classics Society

Hello everyone!

We've got two (well, four) great events this week and hope to see you there!

First, we are having a movie night on Wednesday, 10/10! We will be joining Classics 373 to watch 300. The film starts at 7pm in 104 Van Hise! Run time: 2 hours. 

Also, it's that time again--time for the annual Classics Graduate Forum Colloquium! Every year the graduate students in the Classics Department host a conference for other graduate students from across the country, as well as a guest speaker. If you are considering graduate study in classics or a related field, you should definitely attend!

This year's theme is "And Now for Something Completely Different: Transformation and Transcendence in Antiquity." Check out the awesome schedule below:

Friday, October 12 (Van Hise 114)

5:00 PM       Keynote address by Stephen Hinds (UW-Seattle), "Transformation, translation, and transcendence:  Ovid, Marvell and others"

Saturday, October 13 (Chamberlin 2104)
10:00 AM      First panel of graduate presenters
11:30 AM      Free lunch [they do exist] catered by the Wisconsin Union
12:30 PM      Second panel of graduate presenters

Special Undergrad-Only Event, October 12 (Van Hise 951)

Conversation Hour with Stephen Hinds! This is a great chance to get to meet another great classics professor and to ask questions about his research, life in academia, or classics in general. It'll be a fun, casual hour of conversation and light refreshments. 

This the first year that the Colloquium is having an undergrad-only event and we urge you to attend! 

We look forward to seeing you this week!
