The Hungarian Classical Society awarded this year’s Jenő Ábel Memorial Plaquette for outstanding achievement in classical studies to our faculty member István Bodnár.
His acceptance speech given at this occasion:
It has never crossed my mind that I might receive an award like this. I have been quite rebellious, so it just seemed to be out of question that a society of classical scholarship would think of awarding me a major prize. Hence this decision is out of the ordinary in so many ways that I am truly humbled.
