Res Gestae Performance

7/12/2024

Salvete Omnes!


We are approaching the presentation of student Varietas Projects on Saturday at 2 pm in Copley 101 ( 38 on the map).  The students have worked extremely hard on these projects and hope to demonstrate how much their grasp on the language has grown in their chosen proficiency.  Though the performances are in Latin, we will offer descriptions for our non-Latin speaking/reading audience members. 

We hope that you will join us for the performance as well as the short reception to follow from 3-4 pm in the same location. We ask that all guests remain in Copley during the reception; all packing must be completed during check-out on Sunday. Also, please, remember that the use or possession of an internet-enabled device by a student at this event will result in a dismissal from the academy. We thank you for your support and understanding. Finally, after the reception, students will return to the dorms to pack and prepare for our final banquet.    

Those of you traveling from a distance might consider staying overnight in Ashland to be ready for checkout starting at 8:30 am on Sunday (more on that to follow).   Also, there is parking around the building and in nearby lots around campus.

Please let me know if you have any questions or concerns about this event.
Curate ut Valeatis,
Jacquelyn Wilkins
