This is really just of interest to the D.C. area folk, but the University of Maryland, College Park, is having Latin Day on November 1st. Registration ends October 11th, so you have a month to convince your school to go!

By the way, if any of you have any announcements of Classics-related events like the above, you can e-mail me, and I'll be happy to post them.
