Dear NHSA Aendees, Friends, & Supporters,The National Hellenic Student Association, a simple idea to students prior just two years ago, has

grown to represent student members from more than 60 universities across the U.S., offering students of

Hellenic descent an efficient and extensive academic and professional network. More importantly NHSAinitiatives have been developed to allow our members to build and strengthen their connection with

Hellenism and to further educate our members, our communities, and the general public by utilizing our

connection with academia and our networks. Recognizing our role as the future of Hellenism, we define

our goal is to innovate new ideas and new philosophies for our generation and to build a stronger

Hellenic community of the future both in the U.S. and in Greece.

The NHSA Board would like to congratulate all of our members for attending this convention and

becoming involved in the academic panel discussions and NHSA initiatives, in essence coming together to

position our firm stance as the Future of Hellenism. As such, we welcome all 200 visiting students who

have travelled here for the weekend, and we thank our hosts in Boston for their work and contributions

in preparing for this excellent and unprecedented event. Secondly, as we are a purely student-run

organization, we depend on our generous sponsors and graciously thank those who have continuously

believed in our cause and supported us. We hope that the results you see at this convention and the suc-

cess of NHSA initiatives give you the gratitude that your contributions do in fact make a difference for

this generation of Hellenic youth.

The NHSAs spring convention in Chicago not only connected students to an excellent network of

mentors, but also led to many advancements and a great deal of work throughout the summer for NHSA

initiatives. As an answer to the ever-changing needs of our members, NHSA launched and is currently

developing an active regional system where regional directors are organizing both active websites/blogs

and mailing lists for 9 regions of the U.S. The NHSA is also in the process of filing for 501(c)3 non-profit

tax-exempt status which will provide us with more fundraising flexibility and ultimately flexibility in

implementing our projects. These current projects which are our continuous initiatives can be found in

more detail on later pages.

This is our great challenge, our great dream; to see more and more students live the NHSA

adventure and continue the NHSA cause by promoting Hellenism and Education.

We ask you to join us on this beautiful journey.

Greece Dialogues: The Way Forward

The current and severe economic crisis in Greece is making international news headlines daily.

Possible outcomes have been expressed by many professors, politicians, professionals and spectators.

There is no longer much flexibility and the question in everyones mind is, Where do we go next?.

The Goal of this panel is to constructively contribute to the factual dialogue surrounding Greece and

the Euro-zone crisis, by identifying the factors responsible for the crisis and ways to prevent it from

escalating to even further unprecedented proportions.

The discussion will focus around the opportunity for change that exists within Greece, and pre-

sent possible solutions, their benefits and repercussions, that will set Greece in a path of recovery and

prosperity. Further, reference will be made to the possible, yet subtle, tools that the Euro-Atlantic

institutions have available to deal with the problems of Sovereign Debt many of the EU member-

countries are facing.

The Advance of Education: Comparing Educational Paradigms

The Educational Systems of the U.S. and Europe (specifically Greece) are very different in as-

pects of financial availability, framework of studies, and teaching methods. Though this panel will

examine the benefits of both systems, we would like to focus on expanding our horizons with new and

creative ways to improve our educational systems. The focus of the panel will also be intertwined with

our Info-Sessions project which aims to inform Greek students on which opportunities and incentives

exist for students to complete graduate studies at an American university. The practical application and

implementation of these studies in the framework of global markets will also be presented and

examined.

Finally, we will discuss the importance of Greek Studies in the US focusing on their history and

their future, as well as their role as a promoter of Hellenism.

Greece on the World Stage

The goal is for students to gain an understanding of the old issues (i.e. Cyprus Issue), the new

challenges faced in economic, energy and environmental diplomacy, its implications for the balance ofpower that that exists between Greece, Cyprus, & Turkey, and the role the U.S. foreign policy both in

the past and prospects for the future.

Specific reference will be made to recent developments around the off-shore drilling in the

Exclusive Economic Zone between Cyprus and Turkey and the re-shuffling of alliances in the region

such as the new cooperation between Israel and Greece.

U.S. or in Greece through student exchange agreements.

In implementing this program the NHSA will simply act asfacilitators in creating direct and efficient bilateral

agreements between universities in the U.S. and in Greece without the presence of a third party organization. Stu-

dents continuously express to us their eager interest to study both in Greece and in the U.S. for six month or year lon

programs. As a result, our project of facilitating the building of a student exchange network the likes of which exists

in almost every E.U. country except Greece as of right now, becomes a necessity.

NHSA aims to act as mediator and facilitate the employment of direct student exchange programs utilizing the

mutual mobility concept found in similar programs already in place for European Students that go to Greece. Most

Universities in the U.S have exchange programs with almost every country in Europe and generally follow a specific

model in the bilateral agreements between institutions. This model, currently a trend used in American universities,

both financially and administratively efficient. Each student remains registered and pays their normal tuition/ fees to

their home institution, most likely maintaining all scholarships and financial aid throughout the program duration.

Both universities have a registered and paid position for an eligible student and a bilateral agreement is easily made

between the two universities to switch students, hence the student exchange for a temporary period of time. Since

Greek universities do not charge home institution tuition, this essentially means that Greek students can study in

the U.S. without being required to pay any tuition fees.

Our spirit and current objectives are to promote the exchange of information, people, ideas, and educational expe

riences between Greece and other states. Our Vision is to develop corresponding programs in collaboration with Uni

versities all over the U.S. & Canada and create a leading link ofmutual understandingbetween Hellenic and Ameri

can Educational Institutions. Under the scope of this Project, the NHSA will:

Provide information on the feasibility and all requirements needed to be considered, before intra-university

contact

Bring the two sides (Office of International Studies of American Universities and the Office of Exchange Pro

grams & the Deans in the Greek Universities) in touch and shape the bilateral agreements with them

Launch these programs and promote them in the individual Universities

Consult the students in shaping the Exchange Programs with compatible courses to the currently offered de-

grees

Last but not least, support and help participating students with their smooth adjustment to the new education

environment and student life

Completely convinced about the necessity of this initiative, we are continuing to put forth all our efforts and of-

fering our valuable experience and passion to the establishment and implementation of this milestone Exchange Pro-

gram between Greek and US Universities.

This is our Milestone Project for 2010-2011 and reflects the mission, the identity of our organization. This is wh

we are asking for the highest level of moral, financial and political support and your contribution to this initiative.

While aiming to clarify and inform Greek university students on the application process for graduate schools in theU.S., the NHSA organized a series of Info-Sessions. Held during Christmas and summer breaks, the Info-Sessions

are designed as a communication channelbetween Greek students in the US and Greece. Last years Info-Session

were held at the National Technical University of Athens, the University of Athens and the University of Crete.They had an outstanding attendance with a success of reaching out to more than three hundred students.

Among the goals we are proud to have achieved are:

Fostering Collaboration between HSAs across the US.

Demonstrating the benefits and success of turning an initiative of a member HSA (in this case the MIT HSinto an NHSA project

Educating Greek students on the processes of applying for graduate schools and scholarships in the U.S. anbringing ourfuture members closer to the NHSA.

Informing Greek students about NHSA Initiatives organized by the NHSA and our member HSAs, like thStudy Abroad program and the Berkeley-Stanford educational trip

Bringing Greek students on the two sides of the Atlantic in contact with each other, in order to exchange experiences and opinions and tightening the bondsbetween the NHSA and Greek Universities

Creating an easy applications guide on our website and eventually turning our website into an informationportal for studies in the US.

Ways we are looking to improve NHSA Info-Sessions in the future:

Hold sessions at more universities; officials at the University of Patras, the Athens University of Economiand Business, the Aristotle University of Thessaloniki and the Democritus University of Thrace have showinterest in this project.

Collaborating with our colleagues in Europe could give students in Greece more information about studyinabroad and provide the opportunity for the NHSA to act as a nucleus for all Greek students.

We are designing a Wiki with detailed information about different universities, scholarships and fields of

study. Through the input of NHSA members we hope to create a useful tool for any student interested instudying abroad.

Through the use of online media, we expect to create an online community of Greek students, regardless owhere they are. Greek students who live abroad will share their experiences with their colleagues in Greeceadvising and inspiring them.

The NHSA has held on various occasions discussions and forums with academics and policy advisors on the topof:

The Greek Financial Turmoil and the Role of the Young Diaspora

in our universities and working environments:

How students in America can contribute to awareness and restorative efforts in Greece.

We, the Hellenic-American students in the U.S. are not in charge of the Greek national economy, nor are we finacial analysts or specialists in financial crisis. However, we are certain that economies are run on perceptions, onideas that are being spread from the media and also from people like us, from mouth to mouth, in our everydaylife. What we are aware of is that we are active students in the academic environments, in American Univers

ties that are think tanks and influential centers, where interaction can reflect the reality instead of a miser

ble mentality that is reproduced for Greece.

What we strive do:

Make everybody in our environment aware of the situation, the weaknesses, the strengths, the opportunity forchange

Shape the factual arguments that students can use in their communities that support Greeces financial healthand ability to articulate these arguments

Create a common information reference point that can reliably, without exaggerations, inform anyone who

wants to objectively realize the different parameters that affect Greeces economy

Over the past year we have hosted various speakers and specialists on the Greek economic crisis including

(to name a few):

Ms. Elena Panaritis: Institutional Economist, Greek Parliament member, economic advisor to Greek PrimMinister Papandreou, advisor for World Bank, and adjunct lecturer at John Hopkins University-SAIS andWharton School of Business

Dr. George Pinteris:professor of finance and economics at the Ohio State University Fisher College ofBusiness, published in academic journals on the Greek Economic Crisis

Similar lectures are continuing to take place in universities all over the US, either organized or supported bylocal HSAs and the NHSA.

Hellenic Entrepreneurship SymposiumsIn collaboration with & the support of the Hellenic Business Network (HBN)

These one-day symposiums are designed to explore the challenges and opportunities faced by entrepreneur

and start-up companies in an ever competitive global market space while at the same time recognize and celebrateHellenes and Philhellenes who are active in the entrepreneurial process.

Successful Symposiums have been held with the University of California, Berkeley in November, 2010and at Columbia University in April, 2011. This is a great success for NHSA in general because local HSA chapters and their leaders have taken great steps and hard work to promote the NHSA scope and ideals continuouslyeven on a local level. The fact that the event was such a success at UC Berkeley and then was re-implemented inNew York City at Columbia University shows the connectivity and the team work of our organization at the nationlevel.

A sample of the program which took place at Columbia University on April 4th can be found below:

1. The entrepreneurs point of view: Start-up founders talk about their start-ups, their experience and gaps in tecnology/energy/biotech/social media that can create ideas

2. The Success Stories: Accomplished Professionals from Computer/IT/social media/Green and Renewable Energy Sectors talk about their experience and what led them to success.

3. Business Idea pitch to investors: chance to submit your idea to a panelist of investors

4.

The Investors Point of View: VCs/Investors from various industry sectors talk about the economy and oppotunities.

5. The Academics Point of View: Professors talk about the role of academia in entrepreneurship

The National Hellenic Student Association of America is expanding its initiatives and is proud to launch thGreece Dialogues Interview Series.

As soon as the economic upheavals started unfolding in Greece, the HSA member chapters began holding lectures and we devoted the theme of the NHSA Convention Fall 2010 held at Ohio State University with the goa

to create a common information point for its student members regarding the parameters that affect Greeceeconomic situation.

Since then, the crisis has heightened and spread to the point that Greece is in the spotlight making internationheadline news almost daily. The Greek crisis proved to be of larger extent than one could originally conceive. is in the epicenter of the Euro-zone crisis given the interdependencies that exist in the global financial systemand the fact that efforts to deal with this must be subtle as the consequences will effect more than just one country, more than just the Greeks or the Germans.

The Greece Dialogues Interview Series is an initiative, like the name suggests, where we will compile a serieof online interviews in which established economists, academics, professionals, and politicians share their fir

hand experiences and insights regarding the crisis with our members and the general public. The goal is simpleto constructively contribute academic and professional opinions in the discussions surrounding Greece and thEuro-zone crisis, which has attracted negative media attention- often to the point of exaggeration.

Thereby we actively shape the factual dialogue (debunking fallacies and myths) regarding the weaknesses anstrengths, the opportunity for change to move Greece toward a peaceful, democratic, andprosperous path.Essentially, our goal is to begin to articulate the re-branding for Greece.

We invite all members, friends and supporters to join and support this effort. The NHSA has put together a pooof questions which we plan to ask all interviewees so as to develop a comparative database of different perspectives. Here are ways you can help:

Students at any university in the US or Greece can ask to be given the questions and guidelines how tconduct the interview so as to contact professors and experts in your community. Friends & supporters depending on their level of experience can be an interviewer or interviewee. We wecome suggestions of people you can put us in touch with, whose analysis you think will add to the Dialogues. you are in the position to also conduct interviews in your city or community we will gladly work with you.

Lastly, if you are a financial professional or an academic and have already been talking or writing about the crsis we would love to hear from you and offer another outlet for your analysis.

Inspiring Hellenism and Education Worldwide

In our mission to educate, inspire, connect and promote Hellenism across the United States, while at thsame time opening the Association and embracing students, making them feel that they belong in an organizatiothat is built by them and for them. Companionship and collaboration in our actions and goals is of paramount importance for the future of the NHSA as the voice of Greek Students in the US and a major ambassador of Hellenism. Our 2012 proposed yearly initiative will entail a threefold action plan that includes high schools in Greecand the United States as well as Departments of Greek Studies in the US.

The first aspect of the project is the NHSA Motivational High School Talks to help with high school students in Greece gain an interest and understanding of the relevance of Greek and international university studieso that they are more knowledgeable and mature once they enter the University. NHSA will hold a series of talkand video-conferences with students to mentor them throughout their high school studies and give them suppowhile they are examining their career options. The goal is to give high school students a sense of commitment t

long-term goals related to education and professionalism. Furthermore, we plan to initiate communication betwee

high schools in Greece and high schools in the US, where students could exchange their views on their everydalearning experiences.

The second Front is the Greek Language Project which aims to provide the Greek-American youth witresources and exposure to Modern Greek literature and language. The goal is to compile a single accessible onlindatabase with resources contributed from various Classics and Modern Greek studies departments across the U.SThis will provide students and children with the initial tools that they will need to start improving their use of thGreek language and increase their exposure to the Hellenic culture. The database can be accompanied by a serieof short texts in Greek, parts of books or short stories, each accompanied with a list of all the non-trivial wordtranslated into English. In order to ensure that this project makes a measurable impact, we have been soliciting th

the support and expertise of faculty members in Departments of Greek studies in the US.

The last part of this project aims to promote the Greek culture and history through translated poetry (ThGreek Translated Poetry Project). Along with a database of language tools will include an addition of Greek poems that have been translated in English. Uploaded translated versions will serve cultural tools with references trelevant books both in Greek and English. This again would be a successful endeavor as a collaboration with Departments of Greek Studies in Universities in the US, with a project serving as a method to organize and makavailable already existing texts.

We are currently speaking with teachers and professors at the high school and university level to choosthe Greek texts that will be translated. Also we are contacting Professors in Departments of Greek Studies in th

US to form the advisory committee for the implementation of the second and third fronts of the project. Finally ware approaching high-school directors and officials in the Ministry of Education to spread the Motivational HigSchool Talks project. Lastly we are working to create and maintain the website that will contain all this infomation and advertise its existence.

Although this project is still in its infancy, we believe in its potential and are determined to see through tits implementation. The support of our members will be of paramount importance.
