Return to campus for Classics Day

Posted in: Institute for the Humanities

Classics Day, an annual event that the Institute for the Humanities has been running continuously with the Department of Classics and General Humanities since 1990 returned very successfully to campus for the first time since the pandemic (during which it was held on Zoom) on October 20, 2023. Eight New Jersey high schools were in attendance with a total of 132 high school students of Latin and their teachers for a morning of workshops and a contest in Latin and Roman culture. Pictured is one of the winning teams — this one from Seton Hall Prep, with their teacher Mr. Brian Coldon (an alumnus of Montclair State’s Latin teacher certification program).
