Why a Latin Club?
The Latin Club promotes the study of Classics, including Greek and Roman Culture, History, and the Latin language, which applies to every major and profession in some way. Plus, it’s a chance to have fun while learning!
Latin Club is student-run, with student members and a faculty advisor. Any University of Lynchburg student who is interested in Latin and ancient Rome is welcome to join.
