"Looking at a map of Greece before and after the Regular Member program is the difference between looking at a poem before and after learning the language of its composition. What you see doesn’t change, but the difference in understanding is monumental.”
"My experience here resulted in a dissertation idea that will most likely shape my academic career, and it is a topic that would have never occurred to me had I not participated in the ASCSA program.”
"I use what I learned about history, archaeology, and topography in my teaching every day. The connections I made with archaeologists, historians, and philologists have helped me in my professional endeavors and were crucial to my employment success.”
"The program's greatest strength is the breadth of art, archaeology, material culture that is covered in the course of the regular year. This institution provides the student with exposure to the ancient world; it is truly without peer.”
"[The Gennadius Library Summer Session] is the best-organized summer program that I have ever attended! It is also professionally the most useful one. The variety of texts and topics covered serves as a warrant that every participant will get fresh ideas for their research. The practical skills that are acquired in a single month might well match a year of regular educational programs.”
