What makes Hodie et Cras Different?
Hodie et Cras is a the first-ever student-led initiative reshaping how Classics is taught, shared, and experienced. We create meaningful connections between high school students, educators, and university scholars—through events, curriculum support, and collaborative resources.
Founded in 2025 by Lucy Domingo, with scholars from Harvard, UPenn, and Yale, Hodie et Cras began as a one-day event at Yale. It has since grown into a national project committed to giving students direct access to the full range of the classical world.
Most high school programs stop at grammar and translation. We don’t. Our work pulls ancient literature, philosophy, history, and archaeology into the same space—making the field immersive, interactive, and grounded in relevance. We believe in access. We believe in asking real questions. And we believe that Classics should feel alive, urgent, and human.
Our programming is open to students studying Latin, Ancient Greek, or Classical Civilization—whether you’re focused on language, philosophy, or material culture. We support those looking to deepen how they study the past and expand how they think about the future.
Meet the Founder
Hi! I'm Lucy Domingo
As a high school student deeply passionate about Classics, I created Hodie et Cras because I saw a gap—high school students rarely get the chance to engage with Classics at a serious academic level before college. This initative changes that.
My background in Latin, art history, and archival research, along with my work with museum curation and classical scholarship, showed me how Classics is more than just memorizing ancient texts—it’s about interpretation, discovery, and making connections across time.
Hodie et Cras exists to give students the chance to see what Classics can be beyond the classroom and to meet scholars who are actively shaping the future of the field.
Join us for this unprecedented experience, and let’s explore the past to understand the future.
Why “Hodie et Cras”?
The name—Latin for "today and tomorrow"—reflects the ethos of the organization: to explore how the Classics are not just relics of the past but ideas that continue to shape the future. This is a chance to experience the Classics as living disciplines, evolving with new scholarship and perspectives.
Join us for experiences that is more than just an introduction—it’s an invitation to see where the study of Classics can take you.
