Classics Advisory Council 2023
Our advisory board continues to provide us with much needed guidance. Last year’s members were Chair Vicki Weaver (’00), vice president and HR director at Mountain Commerce Bank; Patrick Biddix (’01), professor of higher education in the UT College of Education, Health, and Human Sciences; Jennifer Hardy (’00), senior associate registrar at UT; Holly Jackson-Sullivan, development officer, UT College of Arts and Sciences; Susan Martin, UT Distinguished Professor of Classics and provost emerita; Stephanie McCarter (’00), professor of classics at Sewanee: The University of the South; Adelle Rosendale (’24); and Elisabeth Peulausk (MA Mediterranean Archaeology ’24). We welcomed new members Kay Leibowitz and Magistra Jenny Fields from Webb HS.
During our Sept. 6, 2022, and March 31, 2023, meetings, we had lively discussions about increasing our recruitment of Latin and Greek majors, and preparing more students to become Latin teachers. Our board members offered many excellent ideas.
