Every year, outstanding undergraduate and graduate students of Hellenic heritage are nominated by professors at universities across the U.S. as candidates for the Athens Fellowship — the premiere international leadership program for American university students which focuses on Greece. The Athens Fellowship offers students in government, political science, international relations, economics, business, journalism and related fields, a chance to see Greece for themselves — and learn how leaders working at the highest levels of government and business handle a constantly changing array of issues with global implications.

The Next Generation Meets…
An excerpt of our encounter with Pulitzer Prize winning author Jeffrey Eugenides, sharing some of his thoughts on air travel, college love affairs, being a beginning writer and an unpublished author — and how his Greek American background provided rich material for his most successful novels, including his latest, The Marriage Plot, a story of three college friends and their life after leaving campus.
