Department Graduates Outstanding Class of 2002
This spring the Classics Department graduated one of its finest and largest classes in recent memory. Twelve majors and four minors completed their degrees and will move on to exciting new opportunities in their lives. These included majors Quanna Cameron, David Darcy, Breehan Dean, Nancy Greguras, Shushila Heath, Rachel Kahn, Kristin Kemp, Stephanie Ladd, J.K. Melton, Wendy Motta, Eleni Papamihail-Vickles, and Braden Studhalter, and minors Scott Greene, Valerie Harbour, Beth Loftus and Will Martin.
Quanna Cameron, who double majored in Environmental Biology, wrote an honors thesis on Gladiators this spring which netted her magna cum laude. Quanna will take up a two year stint with Teach for America next fall.
J.K. Melton, double in Political Science, also achieved honors magna cum laude for his thesis on Bishops and Politics in the Late Fourth Century AD. J.K. will work next year and take courses in preparation for graduate school in Ancient History.
Braden Studhalter, who has combined his Latin skills with his musical and poetic talents to produce Latin hip-hop tunes, will begin a Latin teaching job next fall at the Vail Mountain School. His charisma and energy will surely lead to success in the classroom.
Will Martin will study Anglo-Saxon at Leeds University in England. He has assured us that he will continue to use his Latin as well while pursuing a graduate degree in English.
Stephanie Ladd, who completed a couple of small requirements to finish out her degree this spring, will return to CU next fall to study Law. After receiving top marks on the LSAT and admissions offers from across the country, she chose CU as the best place to pursue her long held dream of becoming a lawyer.
We are also proud to say that two of our undergraduate majors, Nancy Greguras and Rachel Kahn, will join us in our masters program at CU next fall. We are delighted that they will not be leaving us and look forward to continued interactions in and out of class. At the same time, we are wistful as we bid goodbye to so many other outstanding majors and minors, we wish them the best in their lives to come, and we hope that we have prepared them well to face the challenges which lie ahead and, above all, to recognize what is truly valuable in life.
