panels/workshops and individual presentations. We have also instituted
an online submission form, available from our website at the following

> world and the classical tradition, and on new strategies and resources
> for improved teaching. Especially welcome are presentations which aim at
> maximum audience participation, integrate the concerns of K-12 and

> celebration--reflect on the past and future of classical studies in the
> CAAS region and beyond.
