The Occasional Classicist was the official newsletter of the Department of Classics at Brown University until it stopped publication after the 28th volume in 2007. Since then the department has grown and thrived throughout the years with many changes and enhancements. In Spring 2019, the Classics administrative team, under the guidance of Prof. Joe Pucci, made the decision to revive the departmental newsletter in an effort to help reconnect with our alumnae/alumni. During the summer of 2019, we reached out to our alumnae/i to ask for news and updates, gathered departmental photos, and put together a team to help bring it all together.
The Department of Classics is delighted to bring The Occasional Classicist back to life to help reconnect with our alumnae/alumni. We look forward to hearing from more of our Classics@Brown community in the future and hope that our students, alumnae/i and friends enjoy staying connected to the department.
Special thanks to undergraduate student Susan Tang ('23) and Professor Joe Pucci for their hard work helping The OC come to fruition.
