Norlin Fellowships Suspended

For five years beginning in 1999, the Department was able to designate one of its entering MA students the Norlin Fellow, in honor of the distinguished former CU President and Greek scholar whose name the campus’s main library also proudly bears. The Norlin Fellowships became possible after an internal reallocation of College funds presided over by then Dean Peter Spear. Faculty had identified graduate fellowship support as the Department’s top priority during this exercise, which also involved not inconsiderable costs and trade-offs. It had been hoped that the very promising Fellowship program that resulted would continue well into the future and even be expanded. Unfortunately, the College re-claimed the funds during last year’s deep budget cuts, and the program has had to be suspended. Here is a list of Classics Department Norlin Fellows:
1999: Jason Miller
2000: Bekki Richards
2001: David Yates
2002: Cassandra Mercer
2003: Lisa Batzle and Joanna Schmitz
