Graduate Students Prepare for Commencement
his
spring the Department of Classics awards ten M.A. degrees and one Ph.D.
Our newest graduates have various plans for their futures, ranging from
clear to vague, from new ventures to more of the same. The most popular
future among this year's crew is in high school teaching: we are glad
to know that at least three of our alumni will be devoting their energy
to high schools in Colorado, Florida, or Massachusetts.
Douglas Doll, our newest Ph.D., the author of "Ovid's Metamorphoses 13.623-14.608: The Influence of Apollonius' Argonautica Upon Ovid's Reading of Virgil," is on the market for a university teaching position and awaits the results of a few interviews. He and his wife, Belinda, are expecting their first child in late June.
Denise Fichtner will continue to live in Boulder and will be looking for a job in the Denver area. She reports that she liked working on her thesis so much that she is considering publishing or editing as a possible career. Because she is staying in Boulder, she plans to stay in close contact with the Classics Department.
Sonia Isaacs has accepted admission into the Ph.D. program in the Classics Department at the University of Washington, where she will be a Teaching Assistant. Her friend Mark, who helped with her decision, will be joining her and taking a job in Seattle in the high-tech field (we hear there are a few...).
Chris Kintzel plans, somehow or other, to make his first trip to those lands so close and yet so far away, Greece and Italy.
Libby Krecek has accepted a position with the Joslyn Art Museum in her hometown of Omaha, Nebraska. She will spend part of her time on research and part on computerizing some of the collections.
Alex Mueller plans to teach high school English next fall. He may return to Standley Lake high school in Westminster, or he may move elsewhere in Colorado or to the Boston area.
George Paganelis plans to spend about a month in Greece on vacation after graduation and, upon return, attend the University of Illinois' Graduate School in Library and Information Science, where he will focus upon academic librarianship. Following Illinois, George plans "to return to California to find a job and live in peace and beauty".
Matthew and Mary Wiland Tindle will be moving to Matthew's home state of Florida, where Matthew plans to teach Latin in a high school.
Helen Vickery will stay in Denver, start her study of ancient Greek, read Vergil and Servius at her leisure, and continue to contemplate study for a Ph.D. in Classics. She will also get a job to earn her keep.
Jane Woods will continue teaching Latin at Boulder High School, where she is working to develop the program. She has been spotted patrolling the halls at Boulder High with an impressive arsenal of keys around her neck, scolding trepidatious young students for missing homeroom.
