Over the summer, Ava Harvey ’26 conducted research on the concept of race in classical antiquity and its reception by modern white supremacist groups—an opportunity made possible thanks to a Summer Research Early Identification Program (SR-EIP) Fellowship from the Leadership Alliance.
Harvey, a Greek and Latin double major from Lansing, Michigan, says Professor of Classics Chris Trinacty and Nathan A. Greenberg Professor of Classics Kirk Ormand have “played a seminal role in cultivating my love for classics” and provide invaluable mentorship.
“The guidance I receive from [them], often on a daily basis, encouraged me to pursue this kind of fellowship, but it also spurs me to be the best student I can be every day,” Harvey says. “They have taught me that consistent practice and hard work adds up and makes opportunities like this fellowship possible.”
