Goodbyes and Hellos
This summer we said good-bye to John Friend, Maura Lafferty, and Sklenar. Friend is returning with his family to New Zealand, and Lafferty and Sklenar have retired. We are sorry to see them leave, but we wish them the best and will stay in touch. We now have two new assistant professors: Salvador Bartera is replacing Chris Craig (retired 2020) as our Latin prose specialist, and Jessica Westerhold is replacing Sklenar as our Latin poetry expert. Lorenzo Del Monte is a new lecturer in the department. You can find out more about them under “People.” We are searching for Friend’s replacement this year.
