Rusticatio Virginiana Omnibus Destinata
SALVI (Septentrionale Americanum Latinitatis Vivae Institutum, or
North American Institute for Living Latin Studies) proudly presents
Rusticatio Virginiana Omnibus Destinata, a week of total immersion in
the Latin language with high-energy conversation exercises designed
for participants at all levels of experience in conversational Latin.
Rusticatio Omnibus will be team taught by Nancy Llewellyn and David
Morgan, with special assistance from Don Cleto Pavanetto, past
President of the Vatican's Latinitas Foundation. The dates of the
workshop are July 13 - 19, 2009.
Rusticatio Virginiana offers a series of intensive exercises that will
help you turn your knowledge of Latin into an active command of the
language. During this workshop you can expect to make significant
improvement in speaking ability and listening comprehension.
Additionally, past participants have often reported marked improvement
in sight-reading comprehension and reading speed. Most important, you
will discover the joy of self-expression and communication with others
in Latin - an experience which, over time, can make profound and
positive changes in your attitude toward the language.
Rusticatio Omnibus will be held at the beautiful Claymont Estate in
Charles Town, West Virginia. The cost is $760.00 per person,
all-inclusive, covering tuition, room, full board, all instructional
materials, and a one year membership in SALVI. Please note that
transportation to and from the workshop is not included. For a more
complete description of Rusticatio, as well as eligibility
requirements, please see the application on the SALVI website at
http://www.latin.org/omnibus.html
The deadline to enroll in this year's intensive spoken Latin workshops
is June 1, 2009. Additionally, we have modified the enrollment process
so that you can pay a portion of the total when you enroll with the
balance due by June 15, 2009. For Rusticatio Omnibus the payment
schedule would be $260 payable upon enrollment, $500 due by June 15.
Rusticatio is an initiative of SALVI, a nonprofit educational
organization committed to promoting active Latin. Created over ten
years ago in California, Rusticatio has a proven track record for
fostering growth in living Latin in a congenial and down to earth
atmosphere that is both fun and supportive. Rusticatio currently
operates at the historic Claymont Estate in Charles Town, West
Virginia, just one hour by car from Washington-Dulles International
Airport. Baltimore-Washington and Reagan Washington National Airports
are also not far away.
Nancy E. Llewellyn is Assistant Professor of Latin at Wyoming Catholic
College, as well as being vice-president of SALVI and program director
for Rusticatio Virginiana. Dr. Llewellyn holds a Ph.D. from UCLA, an
M.A from the Pontifical Salesian University in Rome (where she also
studied at the Gregorian University with Reginald Foster), and a B.A.
from Bryn Mawr College. Since 1998, she has led numerous workshops on
spoken Latin for students and teachers in California, Michigan, New
Jersey, Oklahoma, and Virginia.
David W. Morgan is a professor in the Department of Modern Languages
and Literatures at Furman University in South Carolina where his
academic interests (besides Latin) are Renaissance and seventeenth-
century French literature. Dr. Morgan holds a Ph.D from Princeton
University, a J.D. from Vanderbilt University and a B.A. and B.S. from
Wofford College. Besides being an accomplished teacher of active
Latin, he compiles the Lexicon Latinum, an extensive English-Latin
list of modern terms and an invaluable resource for those wishing to
achieve fluency in Latin.
Msgr. Cleto Pavanetto has taught Latin, Greek, Classical literature
and related subjects for many years in the department of Christian and
Classical Letters at the Pontifical Salesian University in Rome. He
served for more than two decades as head of the Vatican Secretariat of
State's Latin Letters department and recently retired from his
positions as president of the Latinitas Foundation and general editor
of the Foundation's internationally-recognized quarterly journal
Latinitas.
Complete information about Rusticatio Virginiana is available on the
SALVI website; however, participants with particular queries are
welcome to contact Nancy Llewellyn directly at annula-at-latin.org.

Vagantes CFP
Call for Papers for the
Vagantes Graduate Student Conference 2010
University of New Mexico
http://vagantesconference.org
In spring 2010 the medievalist graduate students of the University of New
Mexico will have the honor of hosting the ninth annual Vagantes Medieval Graduate Student Conference from 11 through 13 March, 2010. (For information on the program,
transportation, and accommodations, please visit http://vagantesconference.org.)
Vagantes is now the largest conference in North America for graduate
students studying the Middle Ages. Vagantes aims to provide an open dialogue among junior scholars from all fields of medieval studies. The conference features two faculty speakers, twenty-four student papers, and an audience of approximately 100 people. Vagantes emphasizes interdisciplinary scholarship; each year, presenters from backgrounds as varied as Comparative Literature, Archaeology, Art History, Classics, History, Anthropology, English, Philosophy, Manuscript Studies, Musicology, and Religious Studies, come together to exchange ideas at Vagantes. In this manner Vagantes fosters a sense of community for junior medievalists of diverse backgrounds, and because the conference does not have a registration fee, this community can flourish within the margins of a graduate student budget.
Abstracts for twenty-minute papers are invited from graduate students
working on any medieval topic. E-mail a brief curriculum vita and abstract of no more than 300 words by 9 October 2009 to:
Marisa Sikes
