ORGANIZATIONS
The Classics Club (also known as the "Classical Cohors") is a student-run group that organizes on- and off-campus events including workshops, invited lectures, reading groups, discussions with faculty, student presentations and trips to local and regional sites of interest. These activities are intended to provide a context and structure for intellectual engagement and social interaction between students and faculty on the subject of classical antiquity.
For more information about the Classics Club at UTSA and its current activities, visit: The Classical Cohors or write to: classical.cohors@gmail.com.
The Club also runs the blog Julia & Julius, dedicated to recreating (and sampling) ancient Roman cuisine, as well as the classically-inspired advice column Ask Apollo.
Phi Sigma Tau, the International Honor Society in Philosophy, serves as a means of awarding distinction to students having high scholarship and personal interest in philosophy and to promote student interest in research and advanced study in this field. Undergraduate students are eligible for active membership if they have completed three semesters or five quarters of the college course, rank in the upper thirty-five percent of their class, and have completed at least two semester courses or three quarter courses in philosophy with an average grade of over the second highest grade of the working scale.
For more information, contact: Prof. Xunwu Chen.
Eta Sigma Phi is the national honorary collegiate society for students of Latin and Greek. The purposes of the Society, in the words of the Constitution, are "to develop and promote interest in classical study among the students of colleges and universities; to promote closer fraternal relationship among students who are interested in classical study, including inter-campus relationship; to engage generally in an effort to stimulate interest in classical study, and in the history, art, and literature of ancient Greece and Rome." To be inducted, a student must meet the basic qualification of an attained grade of not less than “B” in courses in Latin and Greek, with completion of at least one semester or two quarters.
For more information, or to request induction into the society, contact: Prof. William Short.
