Comitatus formed in 1999 for students interested in medieval studies to gather together for discussion of a range of topics (literature, history, art, cooking, etc.). It has evolved into an ever-increasing group of students (both graduate and undergraduate) and activities including a reading group, annual conference, fall picnic, and many other sundry activities. We also maintain a mailing list to send out information about campus activities that are of interest to medievalists.

Reading Groups - Case will be organizing the reading groups for the Fall semester - see the Activities page for more information.

Silent Auction - to raise money for the conference, we held a silent auction at the end of November - thank you to everyone who donated items and/or placed bids in the auction; if you have donations for the 2008 auction, contact Karen Robinson.

Conference - in February (the 15th and 16th), we had our sixth annual conference; the theme was "Authority, Authorship, and Audience in the Middle Ages" and our plenary speaker was Eve Salisbury. You can read more about the conference on the Conference page.
