Classics Book Club

The USU Classics Book Club is open to anyone looking to examine literature that connects to topics relevant to Greco-Roman culture and life while uncovering conversations about modern life. Along with some fine swag, members receive a free copy of the book that the club will read and discuss over the course of their meetings.
