This was the program from which I received my Honours in Classics and now the university is effectively shutting it down by gutting the language program. Join me in writing the university to save the program that offered me so many opportunities and shaped me into the scholar I am today.
Shocking news from uOttawa: Greek & Roman Studies closed to new students without consultation. Teaching of ancient languages to end. Open letter coming soon - follow for how you can help. #DefendClassicsUOttawa #Ottawa #AncientHistory #SaveHigherEd #HigherEdCuts #AncientGreek #Latin
