National Hellenic Student Association of America – PO Box 1850, Cleveland OH 44106 – www.nhsaofamerica.org Dear NHSA Friend & Supporter, We are in the pleasant position to welcome you on November 12-14, 2010 at the NHSA Convention Fall 2010 with student representatives from over 25 participating Hellenic Student Associations from universities located all over the US. The fact of this large participation is not significant by itself. It is along with the Convention agenda’s and NHSA’s programming that make such a gathering essential to our Hellenic Student community. The NHSA is proud of its rapid growth and advancement in membership, programs offered, stability, and continuity during almost two years in existence from our founding in Spring of 2009, a fact we hope will be evident in this convention’s events, itinerary, and participation. Thus, we would like to describe to you what this convention will entail, what it means to us, the activ- ity it triggers for the Hellenic Youth communities around the US, our peers in Greece, and most im- portantly what plans our Board and committees will be implementing during the remainder of the 2010-2011 academic year. In this booklet you may find our Honored Guest Speak- ers’ topics and backgrounds, the Convention Schedule, the newly established Student Exchange Pro- gram Participation information, Board Members, Member Universities, and last but not least our loyal supporters and sponsors. This convention’s highlight is the lecture series and professional mentorship fair. Our goal is to edu- cate our members, peers, and communities by bringing knowledgeable and respected members of our national Greek-American community to speak to us on matters of importance to Greek-Americans and Greeks. We are featuring a series of lectures on the Greek economic crisis and its roles in the European Union, the issues of human rights and the Greek minority in Turkey, the advancement and education of children of Greek immigrants, and environmental issues both world-wide and in Greece. We officially represent 40 universities at this point and we continually keep growing in numbers. However, we are even more proud of growing internally, keeping always in mind the NHSA scope and principles as defined in our Constitution (find it on the NHSA Welcome website Page). We have created a valuable network for the NHSA Members and our supporters, and we run projects and hold events at the local and the national level in our Universities. Foremost, we make any member of this National Hellenic Student Association feel confident that there is an organization that is creating the circumstances and the opportunities for them to de- velop themselves, at the same time they enrich the Hellenic spirit on campuses nationwide.

Dear NHSA Friend & Supporter,
We are in the pleasant position to welcome you on November 12-14, 2010 at the NHSA Convention
Fall 2010 with student representatives from over 25 participating Hellenic Student Associations from
universities located all over the US. The fact of this large participation is not significant by itself. It is
along with the Convention agenda’s and NHSA’s programming that make such a gathering essential
to our Hellenic Student community.
The NHSA is proud of its rapid growth and advancement in membership, programs offered,
stability, and continuity during almost two years in existence from our founding in Spring of 2009, a
fact we hope will be evident in this convention’s events, itinerary, and participation.
Thus, we would like to describe to you what this convention will entail, what it means to us, the activ-
ity it triggers for the Hellenic Youth communities around the US, our peers in Greece, and most im-
portantly what plans our Board and committees will be implementing during the
remainder of the 2010-2011 academic year. In this booklet you may find our Honored Guest Speak-
ers’ topics and backgrounds, the Convention Schedule, the newly established Student Exchange Pro-
gram Participation information, Board Members, Member Universities, and last but not least our loyal
supporters and sponsors.
This convention’s highlight is the lecture series and professional mentorship fair. Our goal is to edu-
cate our members, peers, and communities by bringing knowledgeable and respected members of our
national Greek-American community to speak to us on matters of importance to Greek-Americans
and Greeks. We are featuring a series of lectures on the Greek economic crisis and its roles in the
European Union, the issues of human rights and the Greek minority in Turkey, the advancement and
education of children of Greek immigrants, and environmental issues both world-wide and in Greece.
We officially represent 40 universities at this point and we continually keep growing in numbers.
However, we are even more proud of growing internally, keeping always in mind the NHSA scope
and principles as defined in our Constitution (find it on the NHSA Welcome website Page). We have
created a valuable network for the NHSA Members and our supporters, and we run projects and hold
events at the local and the national level in our Universities.
Foremost, we make any member of this National Hellenic Student Association feel confident that
there is an organization that is creating the circumstances and the opportunities for them to de-
velop themselves, at the same time they enrich the Hellenic spirit on campuses nationwide.

We are looking for students with Greek ancestry interested in taking part in the first
national online study exclusively for undergraduate and graduate students of Hellenic
heritage. Whether you’re first-, second-, third-, fourth-, or even fifth generation, we
want to hear how you feel about being (even a little bit) Greek. We are currently
interviewing and surveying students like you– including members of student groups
on more than 40 campuses across the country– who are sharing their vies and
opinions on everything from music and food, to parents and professions, in this
in-depth, national survey of Greek American/ Greek/ Hellenic students, sponsored by
the Next Generation Initiative, an independent educational foundation.
