Classics Club

We are devoted to building a community of both classicists and non-classicists who share an appreciation for the classical world and its resonance throughout modern times. The Club hosts a variety of events, listed below, and invites all members of the University to join and get a glimpse of the Department and more broadly, classical civilization. If you would like to join, please email co-presidents Michelle Ho or Elleen Xue.
