Gorefest!

Friday, October 30, 2020

The Undergraduate Classics Association (UCA) and the Department of Classical Studies hosted the 5th annual Gorefest! – A reading of Greek and Roman tragedy, but this year it was held virtually!

More than 60 professors and students gathered on Zoom to celebrate Halloween, and read tragic stories from The Odyssey, Metamorphoses, Oedipus Tyrannus, and more.

The event was hosted by Core Curriculum lecturer Dr. Sophie Klein and featured UCA President Matt Goebel and Associate Professor Stephanie Nelson. 

Even though participants were not able to join in person this year, the event was still a great success offering a fun and much needed break for students and faculty alike.

“The Daily Free Press,” Boston University’s Independent Student Newspaper, wrote an article about the event, read it here.
