Spring ’11 Chicago


 

 

National Hellenic Student Association
Convention Spring 2011
April 8th- 10th, 2011
Chicago, Illinois

 

Hosted by the Hellenic Student Associations in Chicago of
Loyola University, University of Illinois at Chicago- UIC, Northwestern University, and DePaul University.

On April 8-10, 2011 the National Hellenic Student Association (NHSA) of America held its 5th semiannual convention in Chicago. A young organization founded only 2 years ago and entirely student driven, the NHSA proudly had an unprecedented attendance of over 100 students representing 30 universities across the United States and Canada. Furthermore, at the convention’s mentorship fair and lecture series, NHSA connected attending members with over 50 professionals and academicians in addition to many distinguished speakers. Our honored speakers included Alexi Giannoulias, Theodore Spyropoulos, Endy Zemenidis, Dimitris Logothetis, and Constantine Zografopoulos.

The success of the Chicago convention was a testament to all that the NHSA has accomplished since its re-establishment in 2009. The organization has grown exponentially in terms of membership starting off at just 9 founding universities in April of 2009 and expanding to over 40 to this day. These facts are evidence that the organization is accomplishing its overarching goal of becoming the Unified Voice of Hellenic Students and the Carrier of Hellenism and Paideia (Education) across North America. The NHSA and all of its members will continue to work towards this goal by sharing and allocating their resources to promote a support network of Hellenism in academic and local communities.
