ANNOUNCING CONVENTION INSTALLMENT PLAN

The cost for the 2025 NJCL Convention at Miami University has not been finalized. 

We are very aware of the continued rising cost of the NJCL Convention.  To help out our delegates,  we have set up an installment plan for individuals to pay for their convention registration in smaller, more frequent installments rather than as one large payment.  This program is available to all delegates - JCL, SCL, and adults.

Individuals may sign up for the installment plan using this registration form.  After completing the form, individuals will receive information about their payment plan.

  • Participants will receive an invoice for $200 by January 1, $200 by March 1, $200 by May 1, and an invoice for the balance by July 1. 

  • You may pay by credit card, Venmo, or send a check.  Purchase Orders are not accepted for this program.

  • If you join the program after January 1, you will receive the March and May invoices for $200, and the July 1 invoice will reflect the total remaining balance.

  • If you subsequently receive an NJCL Scholarship or other means of payment, the installments paid will be refunded. 

 

If you join the program and are unable to attend Convention, you will be able to receive a refund for the total amount paid as long as you cancel in writing to administrator@njcl.org on or before June 27, 2025 which is the Convention cancellation deadline.

Meet the DEI Team

Woojin Kim

In this series of blog posts, we will introduce you to the DEI team for ACL! Each of these written "interviews" was conducted by the featured member using questions put together by the DEI Chair. 

  1. What is your name?
    Woojin
  2. What do you teach?
    I am the department chair of Classics and a MS/US Latin teacher
  3. Why did you join the DEI? 
    My personal convictions about seeking the fullest flourising and holistic societal good led me to join this committee.
  4. What is your favourite animal?
    Bears!
  5. What draws you to this work in Classics?
    My teachers inspired and impacted me to pursue Classics in college and to teach/coach certamen/sponsor JCL chapters in such a way that I try to live and model today.
  6. Who is your favourite writer in Latin/Greek and why?
    Ovid, because who doesn't love cleverly crafted lines about love, mythology, and personal lamentation?
  7. Is there something you feel each individual teacher can do towards this work of DEI?
    Each individual teacher is different and may need different things in their jouney. The biggest things that all teachers (and individuals, frankly) ought to have are humility to learn and grace to extend.
  8. What is your favourite free time activity?
    Sipping a pour over in a local coffee shop... thinking I'm fancy!
  9. What is an issue or topic you'd love to see more of at institute/conferences?
    How can DEI also include restorative justice that brings two parties together toward healing and growth?
  10. Is there a current concern that you are hoping we as a community of teachers and Classicists can come together on and work towards a new goal/understanding?
    What is the purpose of our existence as such an interdisciplinary subject? Do we have an obligation to prove our value or is the intrinsic worth of Classics enough? Behind all of this, how do more students come to love Latin and Greek?
