Students shore up funding for classical

Leo Webster - Senior Copy Editor

Classics students are readying themselves for a monthlong archaeological field school in Greece, at the Lechaion Harbor and Settlement Land Project, the primary harbour of Ancient Corinth. The trip, led by Dr. Lana Radloff, is the equivalent of six credits and involves field work and data analysis as well as cultural immersion and some exploration of museums and other archaeological sites. Students from all divisions were accepted, though those with classical studies experience or interest were prioritised.

Although the primary cost for students is tuition, there are also travel expenses and program fees, for a total of around $4,445 for inprovince students. Dr. Radloff is attempting to lower the program costs by about half to reduce barriers for students. The ultimate fundraising goal is $74,000 to cover 25 students. Some funding has already been acquired, but students going on the trip are also organising to raise funds.

Students have set up a table in the SUB throughout the past few weeks, offering candy and baked goods in exchange for donations. Bake sales cannot be held on
