Fulbright Greece hosted an online webinar with Petros Perselis (Brown/Stanford) as part two of the "Where are they Today" series. In these series #EducationUSA Athens alumni advisees talk about their experience on studying and living in the U.S. and how these experiences have shaped where they are today.

During this interactive event Petros highlighted his own path, offered advice to those interested in U.S. studies and provided his insight on selecting and applying to the higher education institutions in the U.S. and finding the right fit. The session was coordinated by Nicholas Tourides, Educational Advisor/American Program Coordinator who offered a brief intro on advising services at Fulbright Greece and took questions from the audience.
