Classical Languages & Ancient Mentoring Outreach
(clamo = Latin for I shout!)
About the Program
CLAMO is our society’s very own mentoring program, developed and designed to support students studying the Classical Languages (Ancient Greek and/or Latin), at the University of Queensland.
Our mentors are here to assist you with any aspect of your Classical Languages studies, be it translations, grammar, conjugations or declensions, don’t be afraid to utilise our program.
Remember, the program is free for all Classical Languages students at UQ, regardless of whether you hold a current membership with CAHS.
