Fulbright Foundation of Greece



The first two photos are not necessarily the most exciting, but they offer positive proof that I found the Fulbright Foundation-Greece office in Athens.  The first photo displays the plaque for the Fulbright Foundation-Greece office (the middle plaque), which is located at 6 Vassilissis Sophias Avenue (i.e., Princess Sophia Avenue).  The second photo is the door to the Fulbright Foundation office located on the second floor.  By walking through that door, I eventually encountered all of the "Fulbrighters" featured in the third photo.  We are standing in front of the Temple of Aphaia on the island of Aegina that was built in approximately 500 B.C.  The Temple is built high on a mountain that overlooks the Aegean Sea and you can see Athens in the distance.


The people in the photograph are as follows (from right to left):  Angi-Staff person for Fulbright Foundation-Greece; Kate-Teaching English at an elementary school in Thessaloniki, will attend graduate school at Boise State next year; John-Graduate of Seton Hall, doing an environmental studies project with the School of Law at the Aristotle University of Thessaloniki; Dallas, doctoral student in history at Ohio State University, affiliated with the American School of Classical Studies at Athens; Stephanie-Graduate of Seton Hall, teaching English at an elementary school in Athens; Tatiana-Staff person for Fulbright Foundation-Greece; Georgia, graduate of Florida State, doing a nutrition study with the Faculty of Medicine at the University of Crete; Kevin-Supervisor for the Bucks County Intermediate Unit, Doylestown, PA, doing a project at the University of Ioannina focused on teachers of the deaf and hard-of-hearing; Artemis-Executive Director of the U.S. Educational Foundation in Greece; Nicholas-Educational Advisor for the Fulbright Foundation-Greece; Alan-Professor in Linguistics at Michigan State University, doing a study on Broca's aphasia at the National & Kapodistrian University of Athens.
