We are thrilled that the 2021-2022 series of Greco-Roman Lunch will take place primarily in person, meeting every other Monday at 12pm in Phelps 401. Due to Yale’s COVID policies, in-person attendance is limited to 20 people. We are also not permitted to eat at the event, so the ‘lunch’ aspect of GRL will take the form of boxed to-go lunches. A form will be circulated prior to each event, which can be used to sign up for both in-person attendance and lunch.
