The Mediterranean stands as a treasure trove of rich diversity and cultural heritage, but its complexity and occasional instability have long seemed to characterize the region. These are inevitable when you consider that it connects three continents, over 20 countries, more than 15 languages, and three contentious religions.

The many advantages offered by and the many future plans for the American College of Greece (ACG) - which comprises Pierce College, for primary and secondary education, Deree College, for undergraduates and postgraduates, and Alba Graduate Business School - are underscored by the new chairman of the board, Dan Smith, speaking to Kathimerini.

The American College of Greece celebrated the 100th anniversary of its operation in Greece with a public discussion in Washington, DC last Friday on the role of education as a pillar of growth and US-Greek ties in the presence of high-level diplomats and business leaders from both countries.

The American College of Greece (ACG) was founded in Smyrna in 1875 and was headquartered there until the Asia Minor Disaster in 1922, after which it moved to Greece on the invitation of Prime Minister Eleftherios Venizelos and opened in Athens in 1923.
