The licensing of Deree University U.L.E., established in collaboration with Roger Williams University, marks the next chapter in ACG’s journey: a long-held vision realized, a bold step forward, and a new era for an institution shaped across generations.

Since 1875, ACG has moved forward with purpose—expanding opportunity, advancing knowledge, and preparing students to shape the future. Today, that mission reaches a new horizon.
To our students, alumni, faculty, staff, partners, and friends: this milestone belongs to all of us!

Our 150 year history brought us here.
We were always ready.

Climate action starts in cities, and education has a vital role to play.

Edward Wingenbach, PhD, President of The American College of Greece, participated in the 2026 Innovate4Cities Conference in Nairobi, Kenya, joining global conversations on how research, policy, finance, and local action can support more climate-resilient cities.

ACG’s participation through The Kali Polis Project highlights the role academic institutions can play in preparing the next generation of city climate leaders and connecting students with real-world climate challenges.

At ACG, sustainability goes beyond the campus. It is part of how we learn, collaborate, and contribute to stronger communities.

The American College of Greece collaborated with Maya Tsoclis, who served as narrator and co-scriptwriter; Natassa Blatsiou, director, producer, and co-scriptwriter; and ERT S.A., the film’s co-producer, to develop the documentary "Mission Sunny Days: From Smyrna to Modern Athens."
Drawing on rich archival material preserved by ACG and made available through ERT S.A., the documentary chronicles the institution’s remarkable journey from its founding in Smyrna in 1875 to its flourishing presence in Athens today.
The film pays tribute to the values that have guided the College for 150 years and continue to shape its future, embodied in its enduring motto: Non ministrari sed ministrare — “to serve, not to be served.”
We invite you to watch the documentary on ERTFLIX and discover the extraordinary story of ACG’s first 150 years.

150 Years. One Legacy. The Story of The American College of Greece.

From the shores of Smyrna to modern Athens, a single mission has endured: to serve through education.
With the premiere of Mission Sunny Days: From Smyrna to Modern Athens, The American College of Greece marked 150 years of resilience, vision, and social contribution, honoring the people, stories, and values that shaped its journey.

Rooted in the spirit of Non ministrari sed ministrare, the documentary brings to life moments of challenge and transformation, illuminated by archival memories and personal voices that remind us why education matters, not only to change lives, but to shape society.

All proceeds from ticket sales supported the Pierce Scholarship Fund, reinforcing the College’s enduring commitment to expanding access to education and empowering future generations.
A legacy born in 1875. A mission that continues.

Coming soon on ERTFLIX.
