32. ACL Merens Award Recipients

About Ronnie Ancona, Nava Cohen, John Gruber-Miller, and Mark Pearsall.

The American Classical League Merens (Meritus / Merita) Award is intended to recognize educators who are, as the name of the award signifies, deserving of appreciation for their "sustained and distinguished service to the Classics profession generally and to ACL in particular." In 2023, there are four recipients of this award, and in a special episode of the Quintilian podcast, we're going to speak with all of them: Ronnie Ancona, Professor of Classics at Hunter College in New York City and former editor of The Classical Outlook; Nava Cohen, a long-time elementary and middle school teacher in Illinois who is now a Ph.D. candidate at Northwestern University; John Gruber-Miller, a Professor of Classical Studies at Cornell College in Iowa and founding editor of Teaching Classical Languages; and Mark Pearsall, a teacher of both Latin and Greek at Glastonbury High School in Connecticut and one of the original architects of the ALIRA proficiency exam.

Recorded in July of 2023.

Quintilian is supported by a Bridge Initiative Grant from the Committee for the Promotion of Latin and Greek, a division of the ⁠⁠⁠Classical Association of the Middle West and South⁠⁠⁠.

Music: "Echo Canyon Instrumental" by ⁠⁠⁠Clive Romney⁠⁠⁠
