Sarah, a Classics major, will be working for LucasArts at the Letterman Digital Arts Center in San Francisco.  It is a 12-week internship with the Public Relations Department at LucasFilm where she will be attending press conferences, helping to plan special events, as well as learning her way around the department through typical intern duties.  She is the only intern in the Public Relations Department for the summer. Congratulations Sarah!  Here is a link to the internships website:  https://jobs.lucasfilm.com/internships.html 

We are excited to say that our Classical Studies department section is featured right now on the opening page at Apple iTunes U. The section includes podcasts on Latin poetry and the Iliad that Brenda Landis helped create. Dickinson incorporated these as we were setting up our iTunes U channel, and Justin Marquis was contacted by Apple last week about making this a featured item. Tim Lantz created the graphic that displays. Nice work everyone! This is just the kind of exposure we were hoping to get from iTunes U.
