2016 CAMWS Conference

Local Volunteers

From March 16-19, the Department of Classical Studies hosted the 112th annual CAMWS (Classical Association of Middle West and South) Conference. Awards were given, panels were viewed, and papers were presented at the conference. We were happy to see many alumni and current William and 玛丽 students among the attendees and volunteers for the conference, including Ben Bechtold ('19), Sam Nussbaum ('18), Daniel Hansen ('18), and Tejas Aralere ('15), seen above with Professor Irby.
