LOS ANGELES – Loyola Marymount University (LMU) Bellarmine College of Liberal Arts Basil P. Caloyeras Center for Modern Greek Studies hosts the annual Zoe Caloyera Distinguished Lecture and Recognition Award on Wednesday, June 9 at 7 PM PDT, as a virtual event.

Her Excellency Ambassador of the Hellenic Republic to the United States Alexandra Papadopoulou will also be welcomed at the event.
