A Message from the Former Chairman
Dear Friends and Visitors,
Welcome to the cyber-home of the Pancretan Endowment Fund (PEF).
The Pancretan Association of America established the Pancretan Endowment Fund as an independent stand-alone legal entity whose main purpose is to benefit the University of Crete and the Polytechnic Institute of Crete.
Through the universities of Crete, the PEF promotes and supports projects such as educational programs, summer courses, internships, seminars and bi-lateral student exchanges for our American youth. These programs encourage and promote stronger bonds and cooperation between the peoples of Greece and the USA, while also offering unique opportunities to our people to maintain their Hellenic/Cretan identity and heritage in this great land that we live.
Please browse through the pages of our website and familiarize yourself with the Pancretan Endowment Fund and its various projects.
After your visit, if you still have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact any of our Trustees, or myself.
Thank you again for visit us and for your interest in the Pancretan Endowment Fund.
Sincerely,
Emmanuel E. Velivasakis, P.E., F.ASCE
Chairman
