Latin Day XLII Brings High School Students to Campus

The 13th Annual Tennessee Undergraduate Classics Research Conference brought students from more than a dozen colleges and universities to the Knoxville campus.
The 42nd Annual Latin Day took place on October 17, 2024, in the UT Student Union. More than 300 young scholars, their teachers, and chaperones brought their love of the ancient Mediterranean to campus for a day of educational and entertaining lectures and workshops by classics and history faculty on topics such as the date of Vesuvius’ eruption, Roman races, and medieval manuscripts.
For the second year, UT’s Classics Club designed and moderated a much-appreciated myth-themed trivia game during the lunch period.
