Faculty Development Every summer, faculty members from institutions around the world come to the CHS to plan courses, collaborate, and learn from one another. In June, Sunoikisis faculty members gather to design advanced Greek and Latin courses. Homer Multitext faculty members meet in mid-summer to host a workshop teaching undergraduates how to read and parse the Venetus A manuscript. And, at the end of the summer, the Council of Independent Colleges sponsors a workshop entitled “Ancient Greece in the Modern College Classroom” designed for non-specialists. |

Self-Directed Study Sunoikisis and HeroesX are two opportunities for self-directed study and lifelong learning. Each semester Sunoikisis offers different Greek, Latin, and reading-in-translation courses online. HeroesX is a survey of ancient Greek literature focusing on classical concepts of the hero and how they can inform our understanding of the human condition. For both initiatives, video conferencing, chat, forum discussions, and online course management software enable the participation of international students of all ages. |
