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.

Mate Veres our graduate from 2016 got a fellowship at the Center for Hellenic Studies at Harvard University as well as a postdoctoral fellowship at the University of Toronto. He will start the postdoc in Toronto in September while the CHS fellowship was postponed due to the COVID crisis. Congratulation Maté!
