WashU Classics

Exciting progress on Washington University Papyri Volume III! 📜

An international team of scholars—including Will Sieving (MA 2026), Alexander Free, Todd Hickey (University of California, Berkeley), and Roger Bagnall, Honorary Professor of Classics WashU—recently gathered at WashU for an intensive worksprint, bringing the volume into a full draft and moving it closer to completion.

We loved seeing this collaborative work in action!

To all of our Classics & Ancient Studies majors and minors graduating this week — congratulations! 🎓 We are so proud of all you have accomplished and grateful to have been part of your journey. One of our favorite parts of graduation week is meeting the families, friends, and supporters who have cheered you on along the way. Thank you for celebrating with us. We can’t wait to see where your next chapters lead. 💚
