This Week in Honors

Howdy, Honors Scholars! You don't need to waffle about your major, resume, grad school or pre-med requirements. We've got you covered with events all week, and we even have waffles covered with Waffle Night at Hotz. And then, cap off your week with an incredible lecture on a memorial shrine attached to St. Peter's Basilica from an expert in epigraphic poetry.

The Honors College & Renaissance Studies Present: Little Annex, Big History

Wednesday, October 11
5:15 - 6:15 pm

GEAR 026

Add to Google Cal,Outlook,Yahoo,iCal

What began as a big project – “an endless project” – researching epigraphic poetry inscribed on churches and tombs, led Dennis Trout, professor of ancient Mediterranean studies at the University of Missouri, to a little annex building attached to the original church of St. Peter’s Basilica in Vatican City. In a lecture, hosted by the Honors College and Medieval and Renaissance Studies, Trout will open the door to the small memorial shrine and share what we can learn from it with respect to contemporary values and attitudes about the use of relics and the role the cult of the saints played in the lives of people between 500 CE and 1500 CE.
