Last Wednesday, our MA students and other friends of Classics went Latin Christmas Caroling! Felicem diem Natalem Christi vobia exoptamus!

Trip to the Cincinnati Art Museum with Classics students from UKY.

Every Friday, some of our students get together to read the Aeneid and discuss it- in Latin!

There are still seats in MCL 335, Democracy, Ancient and American. It meets MWF at 10 am. Discuss the beginnings of western democracy and consider how the past is reflected in democracy today. This course is primarily discussion based, and meets the UK Core requirement for Community, Culture, and Citizenship in the US. It also satisfies requirements for courses at the 300 level and above. No prerequisites. Open to students at all levels of study.

Latin immersion post-bac curriculum (& Graduate Certificate) now available online

The Institute for Latin Studies' Graduate Certificate curriculum, in which Latin is the exclusive spoken language, all assignments are written in Latin, and participants engage in close reading of Latin texts, is now entirely available in online courses. This curriculum has already become well known for offering deep immersion in the spoken use of Latin, a wide variety of exercises Latin prose composition, and exposure to the entire patrimony of literature in Latin, which includes not only seminal texts from antiquity, but also Latin literary masterpieces produced in early-modern and modern times. All these benefits are now accessible in an online, but real-time format.

Also now available online are two courses in Latin Prose Composition, which were previously accessible only to students physically situated in the campus of the University of Kentucky. These courses will focus in depth in the techniques of writing prose in Latin – a skill that is also highly beneficial for people interested in speaking correct Latin. The teacher of this course is the author of several books on Latin prose composition.

Interested persons should write to Milena Minkova: [email protected]
Yet another addition to our roster of online offerings is an Intensive and Accelerated Introduction to Latin. Participants in this course will learn in accelerated format and in the space of one academic term most of the important basic principle of Latin morphology and syntax, while beginning to read continuous passages from unadulterated Latin texts as they progress.

The Classics Club is looking forward to an exciting new semester! We have lots of fantastic events in the works behind the scenes that we think you will really enjoy. First, though, we are inviting you to join us on TUESDAY, SEPTEMBER 6 from 5:30-6:30pm for our Fall 2022 interest meeting!

We will be meeting in Whitehall CB 201. At this meeting we will discuss upcoming events for the semester – such as a movie night and informal group readings (in English) of famous ancient works such as Homer’s Odyssey – and give students of all majors and fields of study an opportunity to see what the Classics Club is all about. The Classics Club is open to any and all students with an interest in ancient Greek and Roman history, culture, mythology and/or language, and we would love to see each and every one of you join us this Tuesday!
