Returning to Campus, Being Inspired<\/strong><\/p>\n

By Sissy Theofanopoulou (DC ’02)*<\/p>\n

Some months ago, I visited the DEREE Campus in Aghia Parakevi after a long time.<\/p>\n

Just like magic, when I arrived, long-dormant feelings from the past came alive again. Friends, classroom times, campus moments \u2013 all paraded in front of my eyes, saluting me and smiling at me.<\/p>\n

“Why did I let so much time pass without coming back?” I asked myself. The answer is obvious: routine makes you postpone.<\/p>\n

Fortunately, there remains something deeper that does not let you forget: the beautiful memories that remain alive no matter what.<\/p>\n

As I walked toward the main DEREE corridor, looking around, I suddenly noticed one of the little banners that decorate the campus. It read: “The American College of Greece – Be Inspired.”<\/p>\n

That was it! This phrase was became the next starting point for me at DEREE. How could I be inspired there, again? What would be my motive for new knowledge?<\/p>\n

The Continuing Education seminars seemed like a good answer: lifelong learning workshops for a lifelong learning experience. Marketing, psychology, painting, dancing, writing, and so much more to choose from!<\/p>\n

I want to attend, not only for the learning but also because the seminars are a unique “coming back to College” experience! In my opinion, they are a wonderful, creative opportunity for alumni to stay in touch with the College, and to keep experiencing unforgettable moments at DEREE!<\/p>\n

I look forward to selecting the program I will attend, because DEREE was and still is such an important part of my life.<\/p>\n

It helps us alumni stay connected, learn, discover and, most importantly, it helps us “Be Inspired!”<\/p>\n
