CLAMO!
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 – no question or query is a wrong one!
The program is free for all Classical Languages students at UQ, regardless of whether you hold a current membership with CAHS.
Access the Program
In 2021, we are going to be running one-on-one weekly mentoring! In expressing your interest, you will be matched with a mentor of aligning skill, and participate in 30-60 minute sessions every Wednesday from 10:30am-11:30am (although this time is flexible if need be), with the option of both in-person and online sessions. An expression of interest form will be circulated closer to the date, however please feel free to email us at cahs.uq@gmail.com if you miss our introductory session in week 3 and we can organise for you to join the program.
In addition, we will also have weekly open-sessions, accessible both in person and via zoom, where students have the opportunity to come in for stand-alone sessions throughout the semester as needed. These will be held from week 3 at 10:30am-11:30am every Wednesday, in both the Michie Building, and via Zoom.
