Athena and Stavro give us a quick snapshot of their Greek backgrounds, what inspired them to become a part of the Modern Greek Program, and introduce the foundation of the program: the faculty. Dr. Gregory Jusdanis, Dr. Yiorgos Anagnostou and Dr. Christopher Brown are the professors of the Modern Greek Department, while Dr. Brian Joseph, Dr. Timothy Gregory, Dr. Lita Tzortzopoulou-Gregory and Dr. Anthony Kaldellis examine a range of topics such as language, Byzantine history and archaeology in Greece. The establishment of this department would not have possible without the support of the faculty, the community and the desire to continue the teachings of the language and culture.
