Three Earn Honors in Writing Contest

Senior Latin students Ryan Peng, Will Schuessler, and Max Shackelford earned recognition in the 34th annual Bernice L. Fox Classics Writing Contest sponsored by Monmouth College in Monmouth, IL.
The theme for this year’s competition was “An Olympian God for the 21st Century.” Students submitted works that took the form of a myth in the style of Ovid’s Metamorphoses, a poem in the style of those seen in Homeric Hymns, a portion of a play, or other similar genres and formats.
 
Peng, Schuessler, and Shackelford each earned honorable mention for their submissions. All three students are in Classical and Modern Languages Chair Ryan Sellers’ Latin V: Advanced Readings class.
