Colorado Classics On-Line

ver four years old and still one of the most professional-looking sites in the field, the Department of Classics website was designed as a Webworks special project. It has recently been updated and expanded and now offers a new "Announcements" page with information on visiting lecturers and upcoming department events, as well as current information on course offerings (including summer school courses), students, faculty and staff. Students can download application forms for undergraduate fellowships and graduate programs (and many already have!). We are working to make web-based submission possible as well.

As more and more students research colleges on-line, departmental pages are becoming a vital service. The CU Classics site receives a steady stream of e-mail inquiries from around the world, several of which have resulted in students joining our program. Classics faculty have also been quick to take advantage of the web in their teaching. Over the last two years, the number of Classics course pages (Go to the Classic Department's Home Page and click on "Classics Related Links" to access these) has increased dramatically. Many of our graduate reading lists may now be consulted on the web (from our Home Page, click on "Graduate Guide"), and others are in progress.

Much of this new information has been added in response to e-mail questions. Comments and suggestions from Colorado Classics readers are welcomed. From our Home Page, just click on "E-mail CU Classics".

A web version of the Newsletter is now regularly posted to our website, which also offers an archive of back issues.
