St Andrews was the meeting place for past & present members of #UAlberta Classics program! Current profs Chris Mackay & Kelly MacFarlane met up with former instructor Kathy Simonson (now faculty at MUN) and former undergrad John McDonald (now teaching professor at U Missouri)! Academic summers FTW!

Students learned challenging but important current issues in archaeology such as looting and preservation of cultural heritage, all while being immersed in Jordan's culturally rich society. Drs Harvey & Hardman & their students look forward to sharing their discoveries soon! #UAlberta

Morning, Caesar! Don't worry about that silly priest and his whole "beware the Ides of March" thing! Things will be fine! C'mon, I'll walk with you to the forum. Mind if some friends join us?
