Nancy Wilkie (1942-2021)
The Office of Student Fellowships extends our sympathies to the family of Nancy Wilkie, who passed away on January 18th after a long and courageous battle with cancer.
Remembrances of Nancy may be written on Carleton’s Farewells site.
This fellowship, made possible by a generous gift from Professor Emerita Nancy Wilkie, supports attendance at a field school or other archaeological field site for one to two students per summer.
First-year, sophomore, and junior students are eligible to apply.
Nancy Wilkie taught in classics and anthropology at Carleton College from 1974 until 2013, when she retired as Professor Emerita. She received her AB in classics from Stanford University and her MA and PhD in Greek from the University of Minnesota. She worked on archaeological excavations in Greece, Egypt, and Nepal. From 1985 to 1996, Nancy was the director of the Grevena Project, an archaeological survey in Southwest Macedonia, Greece, where she managed an international team of archaeologists, geologists, and anthropologists.
