Over the past three years, several of our graduate students have worked with colleagues in other departments to build the NYU Society for Ancient Studies, a cross-departmental graduate student collaborative seeking to foster an interdisciplinary community of scholars with interests in the ancient world. They regularly organize happy hours, work-in-progress seminars, lectures, panel discussions, and more. If this interests you, be sure to check them out!

It’s been a long summer, but we’re glad to be back—and with a new look! Our new logo features the familiar torch logo of New York University surrounded by a series of abbreviations in various ancient languages. In creating these hypothetical abbreviations, we sought to represent our university’s abbreviation—NYU—in the respective alphabets and syllabaries of several of the ancient languages that our members study. We recognize that the terms “New York” and “University” were not present in the languages employed, so we used the sound and order of the English abbreviation as a model to formulate the most appropriate order of letters and symbols in these ancient languages for approximating the sound of “NYU.” The hypothetical abbreviations are meant to be an entertaining way of advertising the cross-disciplinary approach to research on the ancient world that we promote.

Tell us what you think, and feel free to share our new look with friends!

We want to wish a hearty congratulations to all of our 2018 Classics majors, especially those who wrote honors theses on topics ranging from ancient substance abuse to the nature of medical training in the first century CE. Special recognition was given at our end-of-the-year reception on Friday to the recipients of our named prizes in Classics, which are awarded for language skills and general contributions to the department. This year's winners were Adrian Zias, Claire Seidler, and Yesenia Brambila -- all of whom are going on to pursue graduate work in ancient disciplines. Εὖγε! Bonam fortunam!

The 2017 biennial NYU Classics Graduate Student Conference was held on November 4 at NYU's Jurow Hall, overlooking Washington Square Park. Special thanks from the organizers are due to the NYU Departments of Classics and Comparative Literature, the Center for Ancient Studies, the Office of the Dean for Humanities, Institute for the Study of the Ancient World, New York Classical Club, and Classical Association of the Atlantic States. We also thank each of our 8 participating graduate students and our three NYU graduate student respondents for their thoughtful takes on the conference theme, with particular thanks to Prof. Emily Greenwood of Yale Classics for her stirring keynote. Lastly, a large thank you to our graduate students and the staff of Silver Center for taking diligent care of our visitors -- and to Rebekah Rust for her lovely photos.
