Latin Day at UT

Each year UT Conferences team up with the Classics Department to present an exciting, entertaining and educational day for Tennessee middle and high school Latin students.

Held at the University Center on the campus of the University of Tennessee, Knoxville, classics professors present special seminars geared especially for the age group. A special lunch, door prizes and lots of camaraderie round out the day.

Topics and registration materials are mailed to Latin teachers in Middle and East Tennessee in late October of each year. Teachers are encouraged to contact the Department of Conferences to ensure that their name is on the mailing list.

For additional information, contact Mrs. Hickman at D-B or UT Conferences at (865)974-0280.
