CYA Virtual Lecture Series
In our effort to stay connected with our community and engage with our students, alumni, friends, and partners, CYA is launching a series of virtual events and happenings. Through a series of virtual activities, lectures, webinars, and cultural/historical walks in Athens, we will be able to interact in ways different from what we previously knew.
CYA’s Virtual Lecture Series is a forum of exchanging thoughts in a virtual environment and a podium in which people related to CYA, and active in their community, are able to share their expertise or experience with a broader public.
