Salvete and `Χαίρετε!
Welcome back! I hope you're all well and settling into online classes and activities! We at the Ancient Studies Council have planned to host a number of events this fall. We hope to meet you all and our members more than ever before in this unprecedented time.
My name is Gobby Caggiano and I'm serving as president this year—with Dakota Pereira as Vice President and Abigail Kennedy as our Treasurer.
The Ancient Studies Council's Involvement Fest virtual event will be on Wednesday, September 9 on WebEx from 12-2pm. We'll be able to talk about Ancient Studies, the major itself, events planned, and our member engagement for this year. All of the council leadership has been working hard to involve our members through online means and we hope to keep in consistent communication.
- For our first event, we'll be hosting a virtual movie night and streaming Thermae Romae. Following the movie, we'll have a Q&A with Dr. Jones-Lewis!
- For our second event of the semester, we'll have our annual ancient history themed Dungeons & Dragons session, Alea Iacta Est.
- Finally for our last event, we'll be hosting an ancient history themed trivia night with prizes!
As details solidify, we'll make announcements with dates and times for these events! In addition, we are still looking for another officer to join the council for the position of secretary. If you're interested, please email me, Dakota or Abigail! If you have any questions or concerns, don't hesitate to reach out to us as well.
