Any Gustavus student or high school student in the St. Peter area is welcome to participate. The Gustavus HMT team meets weekly during the semester. To express interest or find out more, contact Eric Dugdale (Professor of Classics), at edugdale@gustavus.edu. Prior knowledge of Greek is useful but not necessary. Beginning Greek is offered at Gustavus every fall (GRE 101) and also during the January IEX semester (GRE 100).
