The Brown Classics community is happy to share the news that Prof. Amy Russell has won a fellowship from the Loeb Classical Library Foundation. The Loeb Fellowships support research in the broad areas of archaeology and of Greek and Latin Studies, and Amy's award will allow her to take the full academic year 2024-2025 on sabbatic leave. We offer Amy our heartiest congratulations on this singular honor. 

Please join the Department of Classics in congratulating Prof. Candace Rice, who has won the 2023-2024 Graduate School Faculty Award for Advising and Mentoring. The award recognizes faculty members who have made significant contributions as advisers or mentors to our graduate students. Needless to say, there were many nominations, but Candace's dedication, hard-work, and care, easily allowed her candidacy to rise to the top. All in our community send hearty congratulations to Candace for this much-deserved award. 

This College-wide award recognizes faculty members who have shown exceptional dedication, imagination, and commitment in their mentoring of undergraduates. The committee making the award was especially impressed with Dave's support of countless Brown students through advising, in the classroom, and beyond it. This is richly deserved. Our community congratulates Dave for this singular honor.

At the most recent meeting of the Classical Association of the Middle West and South, Itamar Levin, a fifth-year student in our graduate program, delivered a paper, "'Bring Him Home': Iliad 7.334–5 and the Commemoration of the War Dead in Archaic Greece," for which Itamar has won CAMWS' Presidential Award for Outstanding Graduate Paper. Congratulations, Itamar!
