*students may also apply for support with conference or competition fees and other expenses.
ALEXANDER FOTIADI
As a Greek architectural student in England just after World War II, Alexander Fotiadi found ways to explore the marvels of European art and life despite his scant finances. Using his family’s extensive network of Greek friends and diplomats, he traveled by train 3rd class to explore several European capitals. Among the many gifts he bequeathed to his daughter Giaovanna Kampouri-Monnas, CLE Advisory Board member and mother of JHU and MSEM alum Alexi Bennink ‘17, was his strong belief that one’s education would only be complete by immersing oneself in the culture, history, and everyday life of different societies.
This fund was created to ensure Hopkins students are able to enhance their academic learning through travel, just as Mr. Fotiadi was able to as a student.
