The University’s first-ever Humanities Open House, held on Saturday, October 4, 2025, was a success. The many events offered on or near the Main Quad highlighted the best of what the humanities have to offer — from academic programs, research, and resources to student- and alumni-led activities and stories.

The (fun!) activities and offerings at our table were designed for current undergraduate students, but we also met a few prospective students who might soon be majoring or minoring in our languages.

Many thanks to Sacha Craig, Laura Lestani, Soraya Cipolla, Kolade Kenneth, Willie Asamoah, and Edoardo Medri for assisting Prof. Chiarantano and Prof. Fagyal in organizing our interactive games.
