The HHF Chair in Modern Greek History and the Hellenic Studies program at York
University
The Hellenic Canadian Academic Association of Ontario (HCAAO) is very proud to have contributed to the successful efforts for the establishment of the HHF Chair in Modern Greek History (the HHF Chair) and the Hellenic Studies program (the Program) at York University in Toronto.
Under the leadership of the Hellenic Heritage Foundation (HHF) and with the generous support of the Greek Community of Toronto (GCT) and several other community organizations and individuals, these efforts culminated in the official establishment of the HHF Chair and the Program at York University
on January 28, 2000 with the signing of a Memorandum of Agreement.
The HCAAO, by taking part in the process from the very beginning and by offering expert advice and assistance whenever needed, was proven to be a valuable partner in this major project. Now and in the future, the HCAAO remains committed to working with all the stakeholders and it is ready to devote its resources and expertise as needed in order to ensure the continuing growth and success of the Chair and the Program for the benefit of the community at large.
The current holder of the HHF Chair is Dr. Athanasios (Sakis) Gekas. He came to York from the University of Manchester and he has been appointed as a tenure-stream Assistant Professor and holder of the HHF Chair in Modern Greek History, effective July 1, 2009. Dr. Sakis Gekas is also a member of the HCAAO and he is currently serving on the HCAAO Executive Council.
