Most of our older members will fondly remember Daphne Martin '19, a recent Yale alumnus and former President of the Society, who majored in Classics and Archeology. She is currently continuing the studies in her field as a graduate student in the University of Cambridge.
Apart from all the things that she did while at Yale most people know her about the archeological initiative that she started two summers ago in the Greek town of Sparta.
Going under the title of "Embracing Our Monuments in Sparta" the multi-week program invites college students who are interested in the field, whether they are Greek or not, to provide tours of the cultural heritage sites of the city to locals and visitors while at the same time contributing in the organization of local cultural events and conducting research on recent discoveries.
If any of our members is interested in participating during the following summer please do not hesitate to contact Daphne at [email protected].
For your information we are also attaching a recent "Kathimerini" article in which Daphne and her work were featured! We are encouraging everyone to give it a read.
Οι τεράστιες ακαδημαϊκές δυνατότητες της Ελλάδας για προσέλκυση ξένων φοιτητών και οι ελάχιστες ελπιδοφόρες πρωτοβουλίες.
