"The Kokkalis Program has opened doors for the many Southeast European students to come to Harvard for the purpose of learning to become catalysts for peace and stability in their home region. Socrates Kokkalis' vision and generous support is also redefining how all students at the Harvard Kennedy School view their futures and their responsibility to society."
Drew G. Faust, President Harvard University
Athens, 2 March 2010 - An article in the current issue of Harvard Kennedy School Magazine entitled Supporting the Future of Public Service features special reporting on the principles and achievements of the Kokkalis Program at Harvard University and its commitment to promoting opportunities for leaders from Southeastern Europe to pursue a career in Public Service.
The lecture will be offered by Dr. George Pagoulatos, Associate Professor of Politics, Department of International and European Economic Studies, Athens University of Economics and Business.
"The Kokkalis Program opens doors for individuals committed to seeing democracy and market economy flourish. The Program taps into the School's strengths: the intersection of international affairs, socio-economic analysis and technology policy. I can't think of a better fit. We are grateful to Mr. Kokkalis for supporting a new level of outreach, research and scholarship in this important and vital region."
