The CYA Experience eBook

CYA students view their study abroad in Greece as a life-changing experience, one that has increased their awareness and perceptions making them better prepared to live in the global community.

In this edition, you hear from some of the people who make things happen. Members of CYA Faculty talk about the way they deliver the messages originating from their academic disciplines in class or on site.

In our changing world, the traditional form of the university as we know it is rapidly being transformed. The four walls of a campus within which study and research were done are giving their place to new ways of conducting study and research. The university is breaking out of its traditional borders and reaches to the world outside.
Americans, more than anybody else, have become aware of the need to internationalise themselves.

CYA has been acting as a cultural and educational bridge between North America and Greece for over half a century, and has been helping students to develop new perspectives on the world, their own countries and themselves.

This is the cause to which CYA (College Year in Athens) is dedicated: making its students global citizens who understand and appreciate other cultures. Socrates put it so well two and a half thousand years ago, when he said, “I am not an Athenian or a Greek, I am a Citizen of the World.”
