Katharine Butterworth (1931-2018) was the founder and director of “Study in Greece” for 25 years. The “Study in Greece” was an accredited five month college study program for juniors and seniors. The curriculum focused on the study of contemporary Greek life and as such was the first of its kind. For a detailed account of the program compiled by Katharine Butterworth click here. Butterworth was also a writer with a particular interest in Rebetika. She had co-authored a book with Sara Sneider, Rebetika, and was a friend of Elias Petropoulos.
