For those of you who do not know me, my name is Peter Vasilion and I will be your next generation student correspondent for the 2008 Journey to Greece program. Although the program does not begin for two months, I would like to introduce myself.
I am a college freshman at California State University Long Beach (Go Beach!) who is planning to major in business marketing and minor in film studies. I am 100% Greek with my father's family hailing from Cephalonia and Marmara, while my mother's family is from Morfu in Cyprus. My family has been involved in AHEPA for 4 generations and I am the president of the South Bay Chapter of the Sons of Pericles (Redondo Beach, CA). I attended Journey to Greece 2007 and had an amazing experience; this year with 80 students attending, the program will be even better!
I have also added a slideshow with pictures from 2007. The photo bucket was created and maintained by Cheryl Bucholtz the Hellenext intern in 2007!

Thank You
I would like to thank Hellenext and the Next Generation Initiative for allowing me the opportunity to serve the Greek and Greek-American communities this year as your Next Generation Initiative Student Correspondent. As I look back on the time spent editing the Journey to Greece blog and the AHEPA Educational Foundation E-Bulletins, I feel it was a growing experience for me. To Leon and Bill thank you for the tremendous honor of being able to return to Greece and to forward Hellenism and for the privilege of your trust. To Dr. Jim Dimitriou, you put a great deal of faith in me and I believe we worked well together on the trip and produced some outstanding work, we spent hours on the E-Bulletins and drank our fair share of frappe’ (but not too quickly). To the University of Indianapolis, you provided the irreplaceable educational aspect to the program with your staff always approachable and ready to help in any way possible; the professors were outstanding and the coursework was challenging. Again, Hellenext and the Next Generation Initiative made my trip back to Greece possible again, this year along with the blog everyone has become so fond.
