The Friends of Hellenic Studies work to support the activities of the Interdisciplinary Center for Hellenic Studies as well as provide for scholarships, fellowships and study abroad activities.  What follows is a long but as yet incomplete catalogue of fundraisers, community outreach programs and events of the past decade.  Images and summaries of many of them can be found in The Hellenic Voice archive. This page will receive updates as more media and information become available and more links become active.

Dr. Constantine Papadakis, President of Drexel (November 1996. Greek Science in the Hellenistic Age); Dr. George Ahtarides of the Presbyterian Hospital. (November 1997- Medicine in the Ancient Greek World);  Archbishop Iakovos (November 1998);  Dr. Robert Wright, Dean and Arceologist at Bryn Mawr College (November 1999). 

Scholarships are at the core of the efforts of the Friends of Hellenic Studies.  Over the years, tens of thousands of dollars have been given to help offset the cost of tuition, as well as send students abroad to Greece, Italy and Turkey.  The experiences give them unique advatanges, and spur them on to continuing studies.

The Friends of Hellenic Studies meet monthly in the new Constantelos Hellenic Collection and Reading Room, to the foundation of which they contributed $100,000. They work all year to raise money provide scholarships to students of Hellenic Studies and cultivate the enthusiasm of the Hellenic Studies community.
