Trustee
Stavros Constantinidis (1929–2019), a graduate of the class of 1947, served as Trustee of Anatolia College for 43 consecutive years, from 1976 until his passing. Throughout his tenure, he played a pivotal role in the institution’s growth, significantly contributing to the expansion of its mission and its societal role. With unwavering dedication and consistency, he always supported Anatolia College, addressing all of its needs, big and small.
In 1974, following the Turkish invasion of Cyprus, Stavros Constantinidis offered ten full scholarships to students from the occupied regions, giving them the opportunity to study at the Anatolia College Middle and High Schools. Through his discreet but impactful support, more than 70 students were able to attend secondary education at the College and the American College of Thessaloniki (ACT) on full scholarships.
In addition, as a civil engineer, he provided specialized advice on construction projects undertaken on school facilities, substantially supporting the organization’s technical needs. Stavros Constantinidis was one of the most ardent supporters of ACT, firmly believing in its contribution to the education of both Greek and international youth.
In November 2019, the Anatolia College Board of Trustees renamed ACT’s New Building to Stavros Constantinidis Hall in honor of his longstanding service and dedication to the institution.
