Hodie et Cras – December 6, 2025

On Saturday, December 6, Yale University is hosting a program called Hodie et Cras (“Today and Tomorrow”), designed by and for high school students interested in the classical world.  The final program is still under construction but will include workshops, tours, and presentations by Yale faculty and students.  No knowledge of Latin (or anything else) needed.  Our goal is to make Classics accessible, learn about the ancient world, and have fun along the way.  The event runs from 10am to 4pm.  Come for all or part of the day.  Click here to register.  It’s free (lunch not included).

For more information, James Patterson (james.patterson@yale.edu).  Please encourage your students to come!  Teachers are also more than welcome.
