The Joan and Eugene Vanderpool Fellowship at the Athenian Agora was established by family and friends of Joan and Eugene Vanderpool to honor their lifelong commitment to Greece and the Agora Excavations in particular. The fellowship was initiated by descendants of Joan and Eugene Vanderpool through proceeds from the sale of the Vanderpool family estate in Pikermi, Attica. Friends and former students of Joan and Eugene have also added their support to ensure that future generations have the opportunity to work and study at the Agora.
