Each spring, Latin (and Greek) lovers from across Ohio band together at the Ohio Junior Classical League convention for a weekend of fun. They find three days of festivities, three days of meeting incredible people, and engaging in awesome activities. As everyone leaves Columbus (or, like this year, logs off) on that last Sunday, a spirit of sadness engulfs us all, yet hope remains in the form of National Convention.

Nationals, sponsored by the National Junior Classical League, is a fantastic opportunity to meet other classics students from across the country. While OJCL convention is wonderful, nationals offers so much more! OJCL lasts for three days, while nats takes up a whole week, allowing for so many more activities to be explored. This year's virtual nationals will offer not only certamen, but also agon, a quiz-bowl style Greek trivia contest.
