Columbia wins big in Recitation Contest!

For its Greek and Latin Recitation Contest this past weekend, the New York Classical Club received seventeen submissions from Columbia and Barnard students, three of whom went on to win prizes:

Umberto Verdura (Ph.D. program): First Prize in Latin

Octavio Vourvoulias (Columbia College): First Prize in Greek

Grace Clifford (Postbaccalaureate Program): Third Prize in Greek

Congrats to these gifted performers—and thanks to everyone for submitting!  The contest takes place every year, so please try again in 2024.
