We are always happy to welcome our alums whenever they visit our campus, but we are particularly excited when we have visitors who know how the school was in the 80s and 70s or even earlier.

Chris Snyder, class of '77, visited us recently and had the opportunity to see the campus, and the classrooms and talk to students, some of whom are here with us today. The wisdom from his years in school and his exciting life are good starting points for a discussion that spans his school life, his travels, his career choices, and the challenges he faced as he built his livelihood. How timely this discussion is as we prepare for the upcoming grand Celebration of ACS Athens in November, the 2023 Gala in Athens, where two notable graduates will receive the ACS Athens Alumni Award for their achievements in their life and career and their continuous support to the school. Stay with us as Chris Snyder lays out his path in life, and listen to how many common points this path has with the path of this generation of high schoolers, as they listen to his story and try to outline their own goals after high school.

Our co-host today is Lydia Skampavia, from the office of Alumni Relations and the ACS Athens Global team, and an ACS Athens Alumna herself.
