In addition to meeting with partners from colleges and universities across America, CYA hosted a reception on May 31st. The event took place at the incredible GRAMMY Museum at L.A. Live®. Guests enjoyed Greek food, an open bar, and the lively conversation that comes with great company and many years of shared memories. While we could not pass up the chance to gather with those in our field who are usually scattered throughout the world, it was also a perfect chance to celebrate 55 years with the local alums who embody CYA’s vibrant life. We are very grateful to the alums who spent their Wednesday evening with us, some after traveling hours to get to downtown Los Angeles.

Hello, Professor Stavroulakis, who taught courses in Byzantine history I have been a Professor of International Law and International Relations in and Middle East religions from 1972 to 1991, passed away in May. the Political Science Department of the University of Victoria, Victoria, BC, Canada, specializing in transnational law and political economy, for over 20 Below are some memories submitted by CYA alumni: years. In many ways I owe my vantage point to my studies in Byzantine and Islamic Art and History with Professor Stavroulakis, CYA 1973-74. He taught me how to appreciate the interwoven textures of historical events, politics and political economy. His teachings awakened my interest I never got to take a class from Nikos, but his influence on me from our in these themes, leading to a fascination with the works of the scholars like time together in the fall and winter of 1988 was enormous, and I treasure the French politico-historian Fernand Braudel, the Italian political theorist his memory.

That experience cemented my feeling of connection to a history and With very best wishes, culture whose richness goes beyond liturgy and creed, and that connection and understanding has sustained aspects of my life for thirty years. Dr. A. Claire Cutler (formerly Athena Claire Apostoli) (CYA ’73-74) Nikos welcomed me into his home and brought me to Chania during the winter break before I left for my semester in London. I remember learning about Ephiphany/Theophany at the harbor, and I remember (of all things) the household custom of flossing at the table after meals. Nikos helped give me the sense, in that brief time, that I could travel on my own and navigate To All in Remembrance of Nicos Stavroulakis: cultural difference in Greece and beyond. I was saddened by the news of Nicos’ death in May. At the same time, I was In the years after, we were sometimes in touch (there was a never-followed- flooded with wonderful memories of my time in Athens and Chania and all the through-on plan for him to calligraph our ketubah), and I always hoped to ways Nicos gave an inestimable shape to my life. see him again. There was something about his friendship that promised that possibility. In the year before he died, we reconnected just a bit when one of As a young art student, surrounded by the classical scholars of CYA, Nicos my children wanted to do a project on him. I hope that moment gave him a opened his doors to me to talk about contemporary art. He critiqued my drawings sense of the reach of his good works and influence. and introduced me to Nikos Ghikas and a circle of other Athenian painters. He talked energetically about his own studio practice; on one occasion I remember הכרבל ונורכיז him telling me he didn’t think to eat on days when inspiration overpowered him. Respectfully submitted, These were, perhaps, surprising words for such a renowned cook. Dr. Amy R. Cohen (CYA Fall ’88) Nicos was the first truly cosmopolitan, citizen of the world I have known. I remember clearly the aura of his apartment with his twin Dobermans, the Randolph College Professor of Classics and of Theatre; Director of the Center Turkish carpets, the Hebrew and Islamic texts, the hanging tapestries and smell for Ancient Drama, William Erness Thoresen and Catherine Ehrman Thoresen ‘23 of frankincense. He opened my mind and affected my own aesthetic sense in a Chair of Speech and Theatre lasting way. His scholarship was personal and his wit was universal. We continued a correspondence for 15 years; his letters from Athens, London I was so sorry to hear about Nicos’ and Jerusalem were an international lifeline to me in my comparatively provincial death. I wasn’t actually signed up for his existence. I was overwhelmed when he mailed to me his original illustrations class originally but a couple of people for The Song of Songs, two of which hang above me as I write this letter. This mentioned to me how amazing he gift struck me as a gesture of trust or shared purpose I will never forget.
