Historical NoteReturn to Top

One of the top United States scholars on the Greek playwright, Euripides, Cecelia Luschnig was also a passionate classics educator. She created 14 different courses and was one of seven college teachers honored with the American Philological Association Award for Excellence in Teaching. She also received the Phi Kappa Phi University of Idaho Alumni Association Distinguished Faculty Award.

Cecelia was president of the Classical Association of the Pacific Northwest for a year and edited its bulletin for a decade. She advised Eta Sigma Phi, the U of I chapter, and developed its lecture series that continued for 28 years.

Cecelia published around two dozen books, as "C.A.E. Luschnig." Her first book on Greek language had a Facebook fan page. Her scholarly work continued into retirement, and before she passed, she was writing another non-fiction book and two novels.
