The talk went smoothly (minus a little hiccup in the handout process), and I got some really interesting questions at the end, some of which I hope to be ready to answer if I ever give the talk again (I will be adding Varro to my reading list, for one).<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/blogs.reed.edu\/reed_classics\/files\/2015\/05\/DSCN0485.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-139\" src=\"http:\/\/blogs.reed.edu\/reed_classics\/files\/2015\/05\/DSCN0485-300x225.jpg\" alt=\"DSCN0485\" width=\"300\" height=\"225\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blogs.reed.edu\/reed_glam\/files\/2015\/05\/DSCN0485-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/blogs.reed.edu\/reed_glam\/files\/2015\/05\/DSCN0485-1024x768.jpg 1024w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a> <a href=\"http:\/\/blogs.reed.edu\/reed_classics\/files\/2015\/05\/DSCN0515.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-140\" src=\"http:\/\/blogs.reed.edu\/reed_classics\/files\/2015\/05\/DSCN0515-300x225.jpg\" alt=\"DSCN0515\" width=\"300\" height=\"225\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blogs.reed.edu\/reed_glam\/files\/2015\/05\/DSCN0515-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/blogs.reed.edu\/reed_glam\/files\/2015\/05\/DSCN0515-1024x768.jpg 1024w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>[Guest post: Haley Tilt &#8217;16] Bailey Boatsman and I, Haley Tilt, represented Reed on April 25 at NUCAW, the undergraduate conference hosted by Willamette University in Salem.
