CHS Greece

The Center for Hellenic Studies in Greece (CHS Greece) is one of Harvard's 20+ global offices supporting the University's faculty, students, and researchers in their work worldwide and connecting local individuals, organizations, and alumni to Harvard. In addition, CHS Greece unites the humanistic pursuits of its twin institution, CHS in Washington, DC (CHS US), with the homeland of Hellenism.
