About Us

Macquarie Greek Studies Foundation

The Macquarie Greek Studies Foundation is made up of individuals who share a common goal of securing the viability of the Greek language and culture in Australia. We are all working really hard to expand our support base and, as a consequence, to ensure that the Modern Greek Studies Program at Macquarie University is provided today and in the future for the benefit of future generations of students.

I feel blessed every time I see a young student completing their Greek studies and speaking to me in Greek. The feeling is even stronger if the young student is from a third or fourth Greek generation, or even better if the student is not related to Greece at all!
