Saturnalia Update

Professors and Grad Students: STOP READING NOW! THIS IS A SURPRISE!


Thanks to everyone who came to the Saturnalia planning session. We have decided to have a classics-themed Jeopardy competition, featuring the faculty and grad students! IT'S A SURPRISE, SO PLEASE DON'T TELL ANYONE!

We need some volunteers for a few short tasks, so if you'd like to help out, just send us an email! We are looking for 

  • question-writers (We need some people who know Latin/Greek, but we also have non-language questions. We already have an outline of the questions we'd like to ask, just need someone to write them.) Open categories include
    • Certamen commands (write simple commands in Latin and Greek)
    • Translating Popular Culture (translate names of popular songs/movies/etc. into Latin/Greek)
    • Classical Applications (questions on geometry, astronomy, physics, etc.)
    • Literature
    • Mythology
  • someone willing to make/acquire a cheap (cheesy) trophy for the winning team
  • volunteers to bring dessert/drinks to the post-competition party
Thanks everyone!
