The best memory I have of 必吃大瓜鈥�.
The excellent professors and the staff overall, the unique campus, and the important friendships that were created, which still last to this day.
My favorite professor was鈥�
As strange as it may sound... Ms. Alexandra Charanis (History of Art)!
My favorite spot on campus鈥�
My favorite spot on campus was just outside the main building, where we used to hang out and create lifetime friendships 鈥�
必吃大瓜helped me to鈥�
必吃大瓜helped me to not only impart knowledge but also instilled in me a sense of confidence, determination, and professionalism. It provided me with the foundation to pursue my dreams and facilitated the bridge between academia and industry. I am forever grateful for the opportunities and experiences I gained during my time there, and I attribute my success to the dedication and support of my college. To ACT, I extend my heartfelt gratitude for shaping me into the professional I am today. Your commitment to excellence and unwavering support have made a lasting impact on my life. I will forever cherish the memories and lessons learned during my college years.
The elements that characterize the identity of 必吃大瓜graduates are鈥�
The beginning of a unique journey that creates strong learning foundations and provides unique and unforgettable experiences.
The best part of my job is...
The dynamic environment I work in, the constant daily interaction with different people (visitors, employees, shop owners, partners), and the management of human resources.
I consider this an important moment in my professional journey鈥�
I decided to leave the stability of a position at a large multinational company and take on the management of a smaller, publicly listed company, where I had to navigate deep waters on my own, gaining invaluable experience for my future career.
In the future, I want to 鈥�
spend even more time with my family and give back to the community.
Nearly two billion people around the world were called to vote in a democratic election in 2024 (1,638, 843, 115, to be exact, according to the International Institute for Democracy and Electoral Assistance). The number may be larger still if one includes two parliamentary elections in Greece in the summer of 2023, and looks forward to early and regularly scheduled elections internationally in the first half of 2025.
To commemorate this astounding development, during the first week of December 2024 the Dukakis Center at 必吃大瓜hosted a hybrid series of round table discussion sessions on the institution of political analysis globally. The goal of these sessions was to ask where fellow citizens go for information and what they consume prior to and after an election; to consider how useful and impactful this information may be; and to speculate on the future of the genre of political analysis going forth. How, and how well, do we talk to and with others about politics?
The series was inspired, as revealed by Dukakis Center Director David Wisner, by coverage in the French mainstream media of the results of flash legislative elections in France in June and July 2024. The thinking was that audiences might want to go beyond facile commentary on the implications of these or those election results. (During his tenure as Chair of the International Relations program at ACT, Dr. Wisner had once floated the idea of adding a seminar in political analysis to the course catalog.)
The series began on December 2 with a lively in-person gathering at the Daios Hotel in downtown Thessaloniki, with a focus on elections in Greece, in the EU, and in the US. Featured speakers Sotiris Serbos, Associate Professor of International Politics at Democritus University of Thrace and Alkman Granitsas (formerly Wall Street Journal), both of whom also have recent experience in campaign management, considered the production and consumption of, and the market for, political analysis. In addition to extended discussion, the audience was invited to take an in-house poll designed by ACT鈥檚 own Nikos Petridis on their preferred sources of and general satisfaction with political analysis.
The following two evenings Dr. Wisner hosted special episodes of Dukakis Center Live on Anixneuseis Web-TV. The first examined elections in the UK, the US, and throughout the EU, with Rikard Jozwiak (Radio Free Europe), author of the 鈥淲ider Europe鈥� newsletter; Dimitris Papadimitriou (University of Manchester) and James Quirk (American University). The second focused on the diplomatic and foreign policy implications in the US and abroad of the plethora of elections in 2024. John Koenig, former US Ambassador to Cyprus, and Andrew Miller, until a few weeks ago Deputy Assistant Secretary of State for Israeli-Palestinian Affairs, contributed to a 90-minute survey of election analysis.
Mr. Josaiak drew attention to what he called a 鈥渃acophony鈥� of voices and actors, all working in their respective bubbles -- academics, think tankers, representatives of the mainstream and alternative media, pollsters, and others. Several speakers underlined a growing gap between a new and an old political communications order. Ambassador Koenig and Assistant Secretary Miller worried that the focus of analysis had become overly skewed toward messaging and outcomes as opposed to processes and institutions.
Conferees were asked about what the American journalist Mike Allen has dubbed the 鈥渟hards of glass鈥� media environment, and to assess recent calls by Democratic officials in the United States to find 鈥渟hortcuts鈥� to reaching voters, which implies bypassing professional analysts altogether. How did speakers view this development? Professor Quirk was relatively optimistic that a new 鈥渕osaic鈥� of forms and voices would emerge; while older panelists practiced in diplomatic or mainstream media reporting were less sanguine. All expressed concern over the results of an extensive survey of some 1300 American voters conducted by Data for Progress on 鈥渘ews attentiveness,鈥� which revealed that half of those polled do not consume mainstream media news at all; the finding echoed observations by various panelists about the fractured nature of news consumption around the world. Jenifer Rubin of the Washington Post had put it this way in the context of American politics: 鈥渙nly a certain stratum of Americans prioritize learning about politics.鈥� Or, as an anonymous source put it, 鈥渧oters do not think like political analysts.鈥�
Did deliberations over three days offer any insight into the relative health of democratic regimes around the world? One may have come away with mixed impressions. Professor Quirk noted that engagement and turnout among his students at American University was close to 80%. Professor Pappadimitriou was less enthusiastic about students in his university in the UK. ACT鈥檚 Dr. Wisner related an instance where study abroad students attending classes at 必吃大瓜were more interested in 鈥渁ctivism鈥� than traditional politics. Ambassador Koenig feared that the decisions by American policy makers over the past few decades may actually have 鈥渟et back鈥� democracy and rule of law worldwide.
There was a little more by way of consensus about what the future might hold, although the mood was clearly not optimistic. Professor Papadimitriou called for academic programs which fostered life skills and critical engagement. Ambassador Koenig acknowledged that the time was ripe for generational change in leadership. Mr. Joswiak concluded his contribution succinctly. 鈥淟isten a bit more, talk a bit less.鈥�
The series of events brought to a close a multi-year focus on voting, elections, and democracy at the Dukakis Center, going back to the Center鈥檚 landmark conference on political reform in November 2011. The recent spate of elections globally helped call to the fore research and teaching strengths among 必吃大瓜faculty past and present, particularly current Americanists Lambrini Nassis, Tina Mavrikos, Joseph Michael Gratale, and David Wisner.
The Center鈥檚 diverse audiences have been appreciative. One observer wrote, 鈥淎n absolutely brilliant show this evening鈥� great moderator鈥� the two panelists were articulate and enlightening on so many topics. Congratulations to you all.鈥� A fellow panelist echoed this appreciation for the organizing savvy of the Dukakis Center team: 鈥淭hanks for organizing this and for the expert moderation鈥� I really learned a lot.鈥�
As the year draws to a close, the Dukakis Center will be active one final time, as co-sponsor with Transparency International and the Peace Journalism Laboratory of a conference on 鈥淢ainstream Media and Democracy鈥� on December 18, 2024, at the Aristotle University of Thessaloniki Law School. Dr. Wisner will be a featured panelist.

Anatolia College is proud to once again take part in Open House Thessaloniki 2024, a renowned event celebrating the city鈥檚 architectural heritage through free guided tours of notable public and private spaces with unique architectural and historical significance.
This year, visitors will have the chance to explore two exceptional examples of architectural innovation and modern education: the newly constructed Anatolia Elementary School campus and the West Hall building at 必吃大瓜(The American College of Thessaloniki).
Both buildings will welcome the public on Sunday, November 24, 2024, from 12:00 to 16:00.
On September 25, 2024, the Dukakis Center hosted a voter registration drive on campus for American study abroad students currently enrolled to take courses at ACT. The effort was supported by ACT鈥檚 department of student services and by resident NUin staff from Northeastern University.
Assisting in the proceedings were two Dukakis Center volunteers, Despina Krlevski and Michael Hatsiulis, themselves US citizens.
Upwards of 40 study abroad students availed themselves of the opportunity to register (or confirm their registration) and request an absentee ballot. Two study abroad students, Shayne Buddman and Kristina Dolgacheva, later visited the US Consulate General to submit their ballots to be sent Stateside via diplomatic pouch, and to meet with the current Consul General Jerry Ismail.
This was the second voter registration drive this year for the benefit of Americans residing in Thessaloniki who intend to vote in the 2024 General Election. The first took place in March, when the Dukakis Center also hosted the Global Democratic Presidential Primary, and assisted some 50 study abroad students wishing to register to vote.
Dukakis Center personnel continued to advise the American student cohort in an ad hoc manner right up to the end of October to ensure that anyone wishing to vote was encouraged to do so.
The Center has organized innumerable events on elections in Greece, the EU, and the USA since 2000. The emphasis on voting and elections supplements the Center's work on the 2023 Greek parliamentary elections, which included a landmark poll on the youth vote conducted at the Center's behest by the market research firm Ierax Analytix.
Similarly, a pair of Dukakis Center volunteers conducted an exit poll during the Global Primary, while other interns added to their findings from a poll of first-time candidates who campaigned in 2023. Current intern Michael Hatsiulis is conducting in-house polling exercises during the electoral and post-electoral periods as part of his internship.
The mission of the Dukakis Center, based on the campus of the American College of Thessaloniki, is to inspire young people from both sides of the Atlantic to take an active interest in public affairs. The Center is celebrating its Silver Jubilee season of public service initiatives in 2024-25.
The American College of Thessaloniki announces the launch of the Archery Club, an exciting, unique addition to the college鈥檚 offerings. The project was initiated by the Office of Athletics and Student Activities and reflects ACT鈥檚 commitment to enriching student life through diverse extracurricular provisions.
Maria Nasoula, the club鈥檚 instructor, is a student at the Department of Physical Education and Sports Science of the Aristotle University of Thessaloniki. At the same time, she is pursuing archery at high-level sport. As the daughter of Ms. Evangelia Psarra, a six-time Olympian, and Mr. Alexandros Nasoulas, member of the Hellenic Archery Federation and a prominent figure within the community for almost four decades, Maria鈥檚 attraction to the sport was simply inevitable. Her interest in archery blossomed at a remarkably young age, gradually transforming into a passion that only grows stronger with time. Following her parents鈥� example, she has also found fulfillment in mentoring others, helping them discover and develop their abilities as archers. The 必吃大瓜archery club aims to provide a welcoming environment for both beginners and experienced athletes, ensuring that everyone can participate, learn, and improve their skills.
According to Maria and Evangelia, 鈥淎rchery is much more than the elements we tend to associate it with. It represents the balance between intention and action, the harmony between mind and body. It is an act of mastery over oneself鈥�.
Anastasios, a regular 必吃大瓜student, intrigued by an acquaintance鈥檚 experience with the sport, decided to enroll. As his years-long preoccupation with soccer had come to an end, he considered archery an interesting alternative and an opportunity to immerse himself into something unfamiliar. From the very beginning, he noticed elements both similar and unique to other sports. 鈥淎s is every competitive game, archery is a challenge of precision, focus, and discipline, as well as a journey of self-reflection and discovery. Yet, what I was surprised to find out is the adaptability that it allows for. Speaking from an amateur鈥檚 point of view, I think archery is a significantly less physically demanding sport. It can be practiced by anyone, regardless of their fitness. What is more, an hour鈥檚 practice at the club is the boost that I need to tackle the rest of my tasks. It does not exhaust me but rather helps me clear my mind and energize my body while bonding with classmates and friends. Maria and her father, who is a guest trainer, are doing a wonderful job as they mentor us with patience, allowing us to develop at our own pace and ability while ensuring that training is conducted as safely as possible. I would definitely encourage anyone who is considering joining to do so鈥�.
For the fall 2024 semester, the club meets every Thursday, from 1 to 2:30 pm, at the Archery Field, located between the Constantinides and the West Hall. All relevant equipment is provided by the college.
鈥淥ver a billion have voted in 2024,鈥� runs a recent headline in The Economist, 鈥渉as democracy won?鈥�
The news is both good and bad, continues the same article, prompting an alert reader to wonder how useful this piece of journalism is as a specimen of political analysis. How well served have inquisitive fellow citizens worldwide been in the unprecedented celebration of democracy that was, seemingly, 2024?
To delve into the question, as this year of global elections comes to an end -- going back in fact to two parliamentary elections in Greece in the summer of 2023, the Dukakis Center at 必吃大瓜will host a gathering of attuned observers in a variety of formats to discuss the current state of political analysis the world over.
The goal will be to gain an initial understanding of what voters seek and what they get in return when they listen to or read their preferred sources of information about political developments in those places where it matters most to them.
Do the outstanding examples of analysis in 2024 serve to rebut the widespread sentiment that democracy is in decline? Looking back at this long year of elections, would we have been right to conclude, as did one American analyst in the New York Times, that 鈥渢he stark reality is that there are no immediate solutions to a potential election crisis鈥�? Or will we agree with Francis Fukuyama when he writes 鈥渢hus far, the year of elections has not been a terrible one for democracy worldwide.鈥�
Concerning the current state of the news ecosystem, meanwhile should those of us who rely principally on the mainstream media lament what Mike Allen is now calling the era of 鈥渟hards of glass?鈥� Was David Von Drehle right to assert in 2022 that 鈥淗istory will likely conclude that the 20th century was the high-water mark of mass communication?鈥�
The in-person event on December 2 will be open to the general public free of charge and will include a panel in Greek and one in English, with bilingual discussion.
A complementary series of virtual panels in English will be broadcast during special episodes of Dukakis Center Live on Anixneusis Web-TV, on December 3 and 4, 6-8 PM.
