American Hellenic Foundation of Western PA American Hellenic Foundation of Western Pennsylvania American Hellenic Foundation of Western Pennsylvania BUILDING INTERGENERATIONAL INTERCULTURAL BRIDGES The AmericanHellenic Foundation of Western Pennsylvania AHFWP was established to foster and promote educational programs at local institutions of higher learning that can serve to cultivate academic ties between their programs and those of identical institutions in Greece. The centerpiece and conduit of this endeavour will be a Hellenic Cultural Center and Heritage Museum in the heart of the four major institutions of higher learning in Western PA namely the University of Pittsburgh CarnegieMellon University Robert Morris University and Carlow University. These four universities form a quadrant which serves many undergraduate and postgraduate students not only from Greece but from the wider geographic area in which Greece lies. Additionally the Foundation seeks to serve as the conduit through which economic and technological ties between Greek institutions of higher learning and local centers of technological and scientific excellence can be developed and established.
