On Friday afternoon we were treated to not just one but two on-campus receptions, one at the Prince Center of Calvin College, the other at the Eberhard Center on the Grand Valley State University downtown campus. Our 457 attendees enjoyed elegant accommodations at the Amway Grand Plaza,Īnd the hotel's tasty refreshments made visiting the book exhibit a pleasure in more ways than one! It was an honor to have Mayor George Heartwell personally welcome CAMWS to Grand Rapids at the opening reception. As if that were not enough, Plautus' The Braggart Soldier was performed on the GVSU campus Thursday evening for those adventurous enough to take the bus to Allendale. For the fourth year in a row, the Graduate Student Issues Committee also offered a pre-convention workshop. The 70 sessions included 11 panels and 2 undergraduate paper sessions. I am happy to report that the 107th Annual Meeting of CAMWS held in Grand Rapids, Michigan, April 6-9, 2011, was a "grand" success! The program featured 331 presentations, covering every conceivable topic related to Classical Studies, all delivered in the space of three days.
