Enjoy an Active Academic Life in the Greek and Roman Studies Program
The Alexander Sarcophagus. Istanbul Archaeological Museum.
The Greek and Roman Studies program is the smallest program in the College of the Humanities, but one of the most active.
GRS students spend most of their time between classes working and socializing in the program’s common room. They share their work with each other in the Corvus Journal, and on the Carleton University Classics Society Facebook group, and they socialize together and go on GRS-Themed Trips.
The Program enjoys a regular Distinguished Lecture Series, and the Friends of Greek and Roman Studies publish a quasi-annual Newsletter, to keep everyone up to date on the latest news.
