On Tuesday June 2, the Classics Department hosted their annual banquet online.
As is tradition, the entertainment was provided by the Latin I students who made a video of a song that told the story of their journey of learning Latin over the course of the year.
Eight students took the National Latin Exam in March. Amanda Wang and Oliver Tian in Latin II and Tate Frederick in Honors Latin III earned Magna Cum Laude; Ingrid Kai Yi Yeung and Julie He in Latin I received the award of Maxima Cum Laude and Summa Cum Laude went to Sam Wang in Honors Latin III and Michael Ferlisi in Latin II.
The Classical Diploma students presented their Capstone Project, a collection of mosaics that sought to answer the driving question of how Classical literature and culture are still relevant in the 21st century.
Finally Departmental Book Prizes for the best sight translation of a passage of Greek or Latin were awarded to Ingrid Kai Yi Yeung in Latin I, Michael Ferlisi in Latin II, Sam Wang in Latin III, Illia Rebechar in Advanced Latin, Chirstos Papaioannou in Greek I and Lora Xie in Greek II.
Congratulations to all of the award winners, to the Classical Diploma Scholars and to everyone in Classics who worked hard all year!
Valete! ( Be well!)
