CANES undergraduate student Jonathan Guggenmos was recently accepted to the American School of Classical Studies at Athens’ 2025 Summer Session.
The ASCSA Summer Session, based at the American School of Classical Studies at Athens, has provided extensive exposure to Greece, ancient and modern, for generations of students of Classics and related fields. It has a strong academic component with participants researching and presenting topics on site and offers unique opportunities to interact with eminent archaeologists in the field. Roughly half of the session is spent in travel throughout Greece. Three trips give participants an introduction to the major archaeological sites and museum collections throughout the country. The remainder of the session is devoted to study of the museums and monuments of Athens and the surrounding area with day trips to such sites as Marathon, Sounion, and Eleusis. The Summer Session Program is designed to present a comprehensive view of Greece’s rich history and archaeology.
Enrollment in this program is very competitive; it is only open to the most advanced undergraduate students of Classics and limited to just twenty participants.
Summer Session participants become part of the ASCSA alumni/alumnae community, with more than a thousand members around the world. Summer Session participation can open the doors to professional connections, mentoring, fieldwork opportunities, and scholarly support for years to come.
