Welcome to the September issue of Touch Base, your official alumni newsletter which is dedicated to the 2014 Alumni Achievement Awards, to be held September 12 at the Ag. Paraskevi Campus.

Alumni are the strongest asset of the American College of Greece and a testament to it. You are the reflection of the potential and the credibility of ACG. By celebrating the achievements of ACG alumni who have excelled in their respective fields and who have distinguished themselves in various domains of society, we all reinforce the success stories since the founding of ACG 138 years ago in 1875, in Smyrna.

Recognizing our alumni achievements motivates and encourages current ACG students to strive for excellence as being rewarded is among the greatest incentives anyone can receive. Students will reflect on the achievements of the honorees and will seek greater challenges and opportunities that will change their lives. They will be empowered!

The awards ceremony sets an example to strive for excellence and to give back.

It is a time where we especially feel proud of our Alma Mater – The American College of Greece!
