February 22, 2006: The Classics DUG invites you to a Convivium (Reception) on Wednesday, February 22, from 3 PM to 5 PM in Mainelli Garden. We're going to shake things up a bit this time and invite the grad students to join us. As always, there will be free food and beverages.
December 5, 2005 7 PM The Classics DUG invites you to the annual Latin Carol Celebration and a DUG reception with free desserts and hot drinks at 7PM in the basement of the First Baptist Meeting House (75 North Main Street). Then, we will head upstairs for the main event--the Carol Celebration itself is a unique Brown tradition, and includes speeches, readings, and songs in Latin and Greek. It is also very well-attended, and should be a great chance to take a break from studying and catch up with other Classics students.
