Est Locus
Venimus, Vidimus, Cogitavimus!!
There are many moving parts of a program like this one and it is always lovely when the decisions flow smoothly and easily. So it was when the faculty of the 38th Governor's Latin Academy convened via Zoom. We selected Διδάσκαλος Cogan's offering of a theme, "est locus," which appears a lot actually, but we are looking at Vergil 1.159. We are so excited to discuss the plethora of meaning and voices we can excavate from this seemingly simple phrase. We designed a t-shirt, selected movies, classes, guest speakers, and so much. more. We built a curriculum- Now we just need you! The student packets are now available in the menu above. Do read it carefully, because it has all the important dates, procedures and places that you need for the three weeks of Academy. Please let me know if you have any questions or concerns. Finally, I want to invite you to think about joining the academy as being responsible for aiding in the creation of an educational community that will only exist for the time we occupy it. Your experiences, talents, interests, and skills are the vital piece that animate and elevate this ephemeral experience. I am so excited to see what you can build with the guidance of the faculty and I am delighted to be part of the process. I wish you the best as you finish out your school year. Again, do no hesitate to contact me if you have any questions or concerns. Curate ut Valeatis Princeps Wilkins P.S.
