Professors Peter Knox and Susan Prince, undergraduate director, congratulate December graduate Nic Newlin.

The Classics Department is a busy place these days as 50-60 undergraduate majors and 25-30 minors make their way through classes and various other activities. In early February several journeyed to Snow Mountain Ranch for a weekend retreat, and in April several others presented themselves for a Greek and Latin translation examination. Competitors translated unseen passages from Lysias and Livy. Winners were Tiernan Doyle in Greek, and Richard Payne in Latin. Both Tiernan and Richard were awarded copies of the Oxford Classical Dictionary. Congratulations!

On Friday, December 20, 2002, nine Classics majors and minors received their degrees and were honored at a Graduation reception in the Humanities Reading Room. December graduates include Jared Benton, Jessika Brobeck, Ryan Butcher, Beth Fete, Kevin Jones, Elissa Lunney, Brianna Myre, Nicholas Newlin, and Corlynn Schuster.

On May 9, 2003, five more Classics majors will graduate. They are Geoffrey Bradbury, Adam Forrest Kay, Daniel Lourenco, Alicia Munoz, Michelle Soufl, and Emma Sullivan. Congratulations to all on a job very well done!
