Athens Faculty Advisory Committee

The Faculty Advisory Committee comprises distinguished Columbia University faculty who provide academic leadership and guidance for the Center’s activities. Their insights help reflect Columbia’s educational strengths and promote academic exchange in what we do.

The Committee plays a vital role in connecting the Center with faculty interests, identifying opportunities for collaboration, and developing innovative programs that engage with important regional challenges. They represent a wide spectrum of faculty interests and disciplinary areas, selected for their expertise in Greece as well as their dedication to advancing global scholarship.
