Thanks to the generous donation of Jane and Patrick Kieran we are pleased to announce the first awards made through the Corrigan Legacy Fund. Created to honour the spirit of travel and study of the ancient world exemplified by the late John Corrigan, this fund provides significant financial assistance to students who elect to travel abroad by participating in archaeological practica or study tours. This year, the fund offered support to three MA students and nine undergraduates for their upcoming participation in excavation and museum research at Murlo (Italy) and Gournia (Crete). The students are: XinFan Gazzola, Sarah Grenier, Carys Hernden, Carter Jansen, Sophia Kelly, Madeleine Macdonald, Julia Miller, Luna Nikolic, Lydia Scheunemann, Katie Snyder, Andrea Szpika, and Katherine Titishova.

The Department expresses its gratitude to the Kierans for their generous support of our students and their passion for experiential opportunities in the field!
