Athens attracts<br />
alumni in Greece<br />
The stunning backdrop <strong>of</strong> the<br />
Acropolis set the scene for a<br />
very popular alumni reception in<br />
Athens.<br />
Despite a city-wide transport<br />
strike, nearly 100 former students<br />
and guests successfully made it<br />
to the event at the Divani Palace<br />
Acropolis Hotel. Enjoying a warm<br />
spring evening spent on a terrace<br />
overlooking the ancient buildings<br />
<strong>of</strong> Athens, alumni and friends<br />
networked until late into the night.<br />
The university’s Hellenic <strong>Alumni</strong><br />
Society was established in 2002.<br />
A steering committee, under<br />
the leadership <strong>of</strong> Nektarios<br />
Stravolemis (MSc Financial<br />
Management, 2002), is now<br />
working with the university to plan<br />
more activities across Greece.<br />
<strong>Alumni</strong> Events 2009 –10<br />
This year looks set to be another exciting one for our alumni. There will be a<br />
variety <strong>of</strong> events on <strong>of</strong>fer, each one giving you the opportunity to reunite with<br />
old friends from <strong>Greenwich</strong>.<br />
Following on from the success <strong>of</strong> the event in 2008, we will be holding<br />
another alumni pub night this November in a central London location.<br />
The popular sports reunion returns to Avery Hill in spring 2010, giving<br />
alumni the chance to compete against current students in a range <strong>of</strong> sports.<br />
After that healthy dose <strong>of</strong> exercise, participants will relax together afterwards<br />
whilst watching the FA Cup final.<br />
We will be also visiting China and Malaysia over the next twelve months for<br />
a number <strong>of</strong> special alumni receptions.<br />
