She has also maintained a career-long affiliation with the Intercollegiate Center for Classical Studies in Rome (ICCS or the Centro), first as an undergraduate student (F72, S73), then as a graduate assistant (1976–77), and finally as the Professor-in-Charge (1992–93).
She has served on the ICCS Managing Committee for most of her career, steered dozens of college students there to spend a semester and helped to enrich the profession with a steady stream of younger classicists.
Her ongoing work with the Centro informs her conviction that everyone, regardless of background or profession, can enjoy and benefit from the fascinating issues arising from classical studies.
National and professional service includes serving on the editorial board of the Journal of Ancient History and, most recently, as the 2019 president of the Society for Classical Studies (SCS).
