At the end of every academic year, the Classics Department hosts this evening event at the Brown Faculty Club.  We invite current Classics Department members and our undergraduate alumni to enjoy refreshments and welcome the new Classics concentrators.

This year we enhanced this traditional event by holding the first Classics Button Badge Competition.  We asked undergraduates in Classics to create an image that they felt represented Classics at Brown.  Each year the chosen image will be printed on a button badge and stickers as a fun way to identify their fellow classmates. The winning submission received an Apple iPad for their design.  This year’s winner was Sabrina Whitfill, class of 2019.  The iPad was presented to her by Classics alumna, Nina Barclay, Class of 1975.

The department welcomed seventeen newly declared concentrators into the Classics community!   It was a lovely evening full of good food and good company.  Join us in welcoming the new Classics concentrators, and congratulating Sabrina on winning the first Button Badge Competition.
