The Hellenic University Club of Philadelphia (HUC) is a nonprofit organization that has flourished for nearly 75 years in our City of Brotherly Love. Some 350 professionals, primarily of Greek descent, comprise our membership roster. A love of things Greek, ancient to modern, and a love of learning (PAIDEIA) are the common threads that bind us together.
The mission of our Club is both educational and social. Each year, beginning in September and concluding the following June, our governing Board of Directors plans a variety of activities and events. Members particularly enjoy learning about subjects and ideas that are rooted in Hellas/Greece—and celebrating 4000 years of Greek culture!. We strive to carry forward our rich and ancient heritage and to keep Greek culture thriving in the Philadelphia area.
The educational events planned by our Board and committees are varied and stimulating. Lecture Programs, for example, provide a kind of continuing education for our members. Bus excursions to museums and theater in New York City or Washington D.C. offer an opportunity to learn—and to socialize. Also, once every ten years we organize a daylong symposium where several scholarly talks on a Hellenic theme are presented.
