The John and Penelope Biggs Residency in the Classics

Each spring, a prominent scholar in the field of Classics visits the campus for a week as the John and Penelope Biggs Resident. The Resident offers lectures and less formal presentations, and interacts with students and faculty members in a variety of events and settings. This personal contact has proven to be a valuable resource for students of Classics, both graduate and undergraduate, and presents a unique opportunity to learn more about the visiting scholar’s research and area of specialization within the study of Greece and Rome. The Biggs Residency in the Classics is the gift of John and Penelope Biggs, alumni of Washington University.
