Q and A with New Director James Wright

Jim Wright arrived in Athens this summer to become its new director for a five-year term starting June 30th. A professor and chair of the Department of Classical and Near Eastern Archaeology at Bryn Mawr (a spawning ground for many notable ASCSA alumni), Professor Wright has had a long association with the American School. We were able to catch the new Director to ask a few questions just before the new school year.

Departing Managing Committee Chair Mary Sturgeon Offers Final Thoughts

Summer has seen new faces at the School. Joining us have been new Director James Wright, new Assistant Director Nicholas Blackwell, and new Managing Committee Chair Jenifer Neils. While they are getting established in their new positions, we wanted to take this moment to say goodbye to outgoing ManCom Chair Mary Sturgeon. Mary has been chair since 2007 and has played an integral role in the School's administration. We asked her for a few parting remarks before she took off for her research in Corinth.
