 The MMXVI Governor's Latin Academy Staff met on April 16, 2016 in beautiful Ashland, Virginia. We decided on a theme, a t-shirt design, class names, provinces, field trips, guest speakers, and to keep the timeline of the Antonine Emperors pictured in the header. Some of the staff traveled from Georgia and Colorado and others joined us virtually. As always, thanks to RMC and Professor Natoli for their hospitality and help! This academy is shaping up to be awesome already!
As you prepare for academy, please use the resources on the sidebar to the right. There are links on how to make Roman garb, contact information, checklists for packing, suggested books list, and my twitter feed on updates in the classical world. And as you prepare, please do not hesitate to email or call me with any questions or concerns. Finally, please adhere to the deadlines for forms. The information in them is very important to structuring the academy. A calendar is located in the links above with relevant dates. I hope you are as excited as I am to convene the MMXVI Governor's Latin Academy! Remember, "NIHIL NIMIS/ΜΗΔΕΝ ΑΓΑΝ." -Jacquelyn Wilkins Princeps, GLA MMXVI
