The Art, Archaeology, and History of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World

As part of the George E. Mylonas Lecture in Classical Art and Archaeology, best-selling historian Bettany Hughes will guide us through the landscapes of both ancient and modern times. Hughes’s book, The Seven Wonders of the Ancient World, will be on sale in the Museum Shop, and she will be available to sign books immediately following the program.

This lecture is presented in partnership with the Hellenic Government–Karakas Family Foundation Professorship in Greek Studies at the University of Missouri–St. Louis; the departments of classics and art history and archaeology at Washington University in St. Louis; and the Classical Club of St. Louis.

Major-Minor Fair

Each fall, the College holds a Major-Minor Fair, where students can talk to faculty members and get more information on many majors and minors at one time and in one place. 

For 2024, the Major-Minor Fair will be held at the Athletic Center's Varsity Gym (Sumers Recreation Center) on Monday, October 14 from 3:00 - 4:30 p.m. The John and Penelope Biggs Department of Classics will be present with representatives ready to answer all of your questions about your prospective major or minor - or, just to recommend some of our awesome upcoming course offerings. 

At the Major-Minor Fair, you can:

• Gather information about majors and minors in Arts & Sciences
• Learn about second majors and minors in other divisions
• Meet important faculty and staff across fields
• Get information related to each major from the Career Center, Overseas Programs Office, Library and the Office of Undergraduate Research
