The gift, which includes contributions from over 70 donors in Montreal and
across Canada, will allow McGill, already Canada’s most international
university, to expand the scope of its Greek studies programme. "We are
grateful to the Greek-Canadian community for the generosity exemplified in
this extraordinary gift," said Suzanne Fortier, McGill’s Principal and
Vice-Chancellor. The Papachristidis Chair, which is housed within McGill’s
Department of History and Classical Studies, was first established in 1988
by the Papachristidis family in honour of the late Montreal shipping
industrialist.
