The ACG Buddies initiative is an open door to the world. We have a community of energetic students who are committed to offering their services to the International Student Community and are an integral aspect of their experience at ACG.

By joining the ACG Buddies our students have the opportunity to connect with the students visiting ACG from around the globe. The mission of ACG Buddies is to promote cultural exchange between Greek and international students through educational and entertainment activities!

• Initiate contact with incoming international students prior to their arrival on campus
• Provide a warm welcome to our international students during move-in days
• Help international students delve into Greek culture and act as liaisons between them and the local student body
• Invite international students to experience Athens and Greece through local eyes and help them discover everything that the city has to offer
• Organize the International Study Abroad Public Forum
• Send off international students during move-out days (until you meet again!)
