What our members have to say

CANE has been more than a professional organization for me, it has been a community. Not only did CANE help fund my MAT in Latin and study at the American Academy, the people I have met through CANE have inspired my teaching, engaged with me as a respected colleague, and nurtured me as a teacher leader. The friendships I have built through CANE have sustained me as an educator.”

CANE Summer Institute

The Classical Association of New England Summer Institute brings together students, educators, and lifelong learners for an intensive week of lectures, mini-courses, reading groups, professional development workshops, and special events. Each institute considers the literature, history, and arts of the ancient Greeks and Romans — and how we engage with those cultures today.
