All current majors and minors and all students interested in majoring or minoring in classics, Italian, or ancient studies are cordially invited to a pizza party in the LRC Lounge (bottom floor, Ciruti Center). We will introduce new and returning faculty, announce courses for next semester, discuss study abroad opportunities in Italy and Greece, answer questions about the major and minor--and eat pizza! This is a great opportunity to meet students and faculty in the department.
