Michael Cosmopoulos, classics, who teaches courses in Ancient Greek and Roman history and leads a group of students to Greece every summer to work on archaeological excavations, has been described as “the U of M’s Indiana Jones.” He makes the ancient world “come alive in the classroom” through his passionate, knowledgeable, engaging lectures. He was also praised for remembering student names, even in the classes with as many as 150 students. Cosmopoulos joined the U of M in 1989.
