Dear friends of the Hellenic Studies Program,

I would like to welcome you all back to campus after a productive and pleasant break. Please drop by our offices in Luce Hall 242 at some point to get to know colleagues Maria Kaliambou, Paris Aslanidis and myself. As always, the Hellenic Studies Program is planning a rich and varied schedule of public events, details of which will be circulated soon. Below you will find our course offerings for the Spring semester.

May I also ask that if anyone knows of new arrivals that may wish to receive news of the Program's activities to direct them to me or to Hira Jafri<mailto:hira.jafri at yale.edu>.

Best wishes to you all and I look forward to seeing you at one of our events or classes.

-George Syrimis
