Student-Led Author Visit
Lily K. ’26, President of the Classics Club, was inspired by award-winning, best-selling author and classicist Madeline Miller, known for her modern retellings of classical myths.
Recognizing that Ms. Miller would be a perfect speaker for the club, Lily took the initiative to contact Ms. Miller’s agent, secure funding from the History and English departments and Library to help cover the appearance fee, and, with guidance from the club’s faculty advisor, high school history teacher Dr. Raymond Lavoie, coordinate arrangements for the visit.
“Having this opportunity was incredibly meaningful not just for our members, but all students interested in storytelling and history in general; it’s beyond inspiring to hear how someone who was once a student of the classics turned that passion into stories that resonate with so many people today,” said Lily. “In a lot of ways, it reminded me why I started the club in the first place; to create a space where these ancient myths can feel alive and shared within a community that isn’t always able to offer extensive opportunities to study the classics.”
