A Note from the Director

Happy New Year! 2017 was a busy year at the Seeger Center for Hellenic Studies and the Princeton Athens Center. In this (our first!) newsletter, you can read about several summer and fall semester highlights (below).

Looking ahead, Hellenic Studies (HLS) is embarking on an exciting project: to redesign our website and create graphic identities for both the Seeger Center and the Princeton Athens Center. We are aiming to launch our new website this spring. Throughout this process, we will be sharing updates with our HLS community at Princeton, in Greece, and around the world.

To help with this project — and the multitude of initiatives we're working on — we welcome three new staff members to our team. Greg Duncan<mailto:gduncan at princeton.edu> joined as our website project manager, and will likely be reaching out to many of you for feedback as the redesign unfolds. Communications strategist Julie Clack<mailto:jclack at princeton.edu> will be telling the HLS story through articles, newsletters and social media. Finally,Sara Brooks<mailto:sbrooks at princeton.edu>, Professional Specialist for Public and Global Humanities, will assist us in developing academic activities at the Princeton Athens Center.

This spring, we are offering several exciting courses<https://princeton.us17.list-manage.com/track/click?u=9092aecb13c4ee09c66d924eb&id=931c8a63d4&e=5e108c7754> here on campus.
