Welcome Alisha!!!
This winter’s University of Waterloo undergraduate intern arrived in Greece on Friday. Alisha Adams will be with us for three months assisting us on digitizing our fieldwork archives. She is a 4th-year Classical Studies and Biomedical Sciences double major with a minor in Anthropology. She is interested in Greek medicine and the lives of ancient women, as well as the Hellenistic baroque style of art. Her experience in Greece will help decide which specific direction to pursue in graduate school. So please welcome her warmly on the 30th to the Athenian archaeological community!

Cordially,
David Rupp
