Lawmakers Get Hellenic Studies Chair Presentation

In a meeting attended by Educational Affairs Committees and Diaspora Greeks, the new effort of Hellenic Studies, a worldwide recognized educational schedule, was presented in Parliament.
The Hellenic Studies Chair was established in 1996 by the Hellenic Canadian Congress of British Columbia  to create a program of Greek studies at Simon FraserUniversity.  The Hellenic Studies Program, which is part of the Stavros Niarchos Foundation Centre for Hellenic Studies, offers courses in Greek and Byzantine History, Greek language and Culture.
Andre Gerolymatos is the current chair holder.  He is Professor of History and Director of the Stavros Niarchos Foundation Centre for Hellenic Studies.  In addition to his expertise in military and diplomatic history as well as Modern Greek history, Gerolymatos was trained in classical Greek studies and specialized in epigraphy and textual criticism. New Technologies create opportunities for the Greek language and culture learning.
For instance, the Odysseas online language tutor is an interactive learning program designed to teach the Greek language and culture on the Internet using electronic learning principles and advanced user interface technology. The tutor is designed to emulate how an actual personal tutor would instruct a student. It provides several examples and no-risk quizzes so that students are familiar with the exam format ahead of time.
