When Jacob Hane ’22 began studying Latin in middle school, he never imagined it would lead him to pursue graduate studies at a divinity school. But through that love for Latin came a love for the classics, and through that, an interest in the New Testament and its cultural significance.

Nominated by faculty, Jacob Hane ’22 and Nyaari Kothiya ’23 will receive mentoring from leading scholars and other humanities professionals as they explore the importance of humanistic perspectives in addressing contemporary challenges.
