Just gutted to hear of the passing of one of the kindest, smartest people I ever met in academia, Corinne Pache
May her memory be a blessing.

Last night the American School of Classical Studies at Athens came together to celebrate the directorship of Dr. Jenifer Neils, which ends this week. Dr. Neils has served as the Director of the American School since July of 2017 and was the first woman to hold the position.

We were delighted here @Durham_Classics to nominate @edithmayhall for an Honorary Degree, and even more that she was back in the Dept. by the time that it was awarded. She's a true public intellectual, who shows why Classics still matters, and isn't just for toffs.
Congratulations to Professor Edith Hall, who we welcome back to Durham to re-join @durhamclassics. 🙌
The first of this year’s Honorary graduates, Prof Hall has been awarded an Honorary Degree to become a Doctor of Letters in recognition of her achievements 💜 #DUcongregation
