ACG Trustee Dr. Anthony Kronman, who gave the commencement speech at PIERCE-The American College of Greece this year, and was also on hand for the DEREE commencement ceremony, gave a fascinating interview to To Vima Sunday newspaper, which was published on July 12.

Conducted during a very difficult time for Greece with the recent imposition of capital controls, Dr. Kronman, an enthusiastic philhellene, discusses Greece’s European identity and the hopes of its youth, which he finds very optimistic and steadfast in their desire to stay in the country and help it rebuild.
