Students Can Learn Modern Greek Through New International Partnership

“For decades, it has been difficult for high school and college students to enroll in modern Greek language classes. Typically, they exist in specialized charter schools or in a small number of universities across the country,” says Dr. Katerina Lagos, Professor of History and Director of the Angelo K. Tsakopoulos Hellenic Studies Center.
