The Classical Association of the Atlantic States (CAAS) offers an annual fall meeting in the region during Columbus Day weekend. Besides papers and panels on many classical topics, these meetings are notable for their sessions on new directions in teaching and research and for their discussions and workshops on professional issues such as the state of Classics in other countries, preparation of professional abstracts, etc. All members receive the association's journal, Classical World, which publishes articles and reviews for “the scholarly teacher and the teaching scholar.” Among the journal's unique features are regular surveys of textbooks and audio-visual materials in Classics. The Hahn Rome/Athens scholarship offers substantial support to a CAAS member for summer study abroad, and CAAS also provides grants for many different types of public projects promoting the Classics.
