Congratulations to M.A. student Connor O’Rourke for receiving the Best Graduate Student Poster Award at the 126th Annual Meeting of the Archaeological Institute of America, which took place January 2-5 in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. Connor’s poster, “Helen’s Divinely Heroic Worship at the Menelaion: Exploring the Liminality of Hero-Divinity Worship through Spatiality in Sparta,” emerged from a paper he wrote in a class on Helen with Dr. Adam Rappold during his final year as an undergraduate. The poster allowed him to explore intersections between archaeology, mythic heroes and the divine.

Explore the program of the Annual Meeting, and the 39 posters presented in Session 2L.
