Modern Greek Reunion, 16 May 2009

A Reunion Dinner for former students of Modern Greek was held at Selwyn College on 16 May 2009. The guests of honour were HE Dr David Landsman OBE, HM Ambassador to the Hellenic Republic, and Mrs Catherine Landsman. More than twenty former students attended, representing every decade from the 1970s to the present. Professor David Holton welcomed the guests and spoke about the activities and achievements of the Modern Greek Section in recent years, as well as current uncertainties about its future. Dr Landsman, who did his PhD in Modern Greek linguistics at Clare College, proposed a toast. It is hoped to hold further reunion events in the next few years.
