Emory Classics Gateway Program

In the summer of 2023, Emory University’s Department of Classics hosted the second cohort of the Emory Classics Gateway Program. The program provided funding for three students with an interest in Classics to attend Emory’s Pre-College Summer Program for a two-week residential experience as rising juniors or seniors and take a course on Roman Pompeii.

Pictured from left to right are this year’s winners, Brianna McCray (Midtown High School), Maria Harle (Atlanta Classical Academy), Kristalyn Lee (Midtown High School) .
