2024 Tracy Lecture and CAMS Student Awards
The CAMS Department has revived its distinguished lecture series, the Tracy Lecture, named in honor of one of its founding members, Fr. Theodore Tracy, S.J. This year’s speaker was Professor Christian Mann, of the University of Mannheim, whose lecture was entitled, “Athletic Warriors-Warlike Athletes? On the Relationship between Sport and War in Ancient Greece.”
The department has also brought back its tradition of awards (with new names) for its outstanding students. This year’s honorees are:
- The CAMS Award for Outstanding Modern Greek Student: Demi Psyhogios
