President 2 The Sower Summer 2010 Dear Sower Readers, I am pleased to invite you to get to know Panos Kanellis, who has been appointed as the 8th president of the American Farm School by the Board of Trustees. He took office last December at the conclusion of William McGrew’s distinguished and deeply appreciated service to the School. Dr. Kanellis is superbly qualified to provide the outstanding leadership that celebrates and builds on the American Farm School’s distinctive strengths and core values, and advances its mission of preparing future leaders in agriculture, food systems, and life sciences. In a rapidly changing environment, and under increasingly challenging economic condi- tions for nonprofit educational organizations, Dr. Kanellis also brings valuable strengths in business management and entrepreneurship to those he has honed as a scientist and a seasoned senior academic and administrative leader. Prior to beginning his role as president of the American Farm School, Dr. Kanellis served as Executive Vice President and Chief Operating Officer for Anatolia College, a U.S. nonprofit educational institution in Thessaloniki operating a four-year business and liberal arts college with a graduate MBA program, K-12 schools, and a two-year International Baccalaureate program. He also held the post of Provost of Anatolia’s ter- tiary division, the American College of Thessaloniki. A Thessaloniki native, Dr. Kanellis was graduated from Anatolia College and went on to complete undergraduate and graduate studies in the U.S., earning his Ph.D. in Bio- Organic Chemistry from the University of Houston. After several years of teaching and research in the field of bio-organic chemistry during academic appointments at U.S. universities, Dr. Kanellis returned to Greece, where he held several top managerial posi- tions in private industry before electing to serve his alma mater. We believe that Dr. Kanellis’ background in academe, capped by his deep administrative experience at Anatolia, his executive positions in private industry, thorough understand- ing of the educational systems and culture of both Greece and the U.S., proven leadership skills and, finally, energizing vision of the future of the American Farm School rooted in a recognition of its unique history and mission, will ensure an inspiring and successful presidency. His first months of leadership, culminating in the recent Board approval of his President’s Strategic Initiatives Plan, augur well for the future of the institution. Sincerely, Charlotte P.

  • The Cultural Sustainability: Merzifon Anatolia College, Turkey Gizem Özerol1 , Aysu Akalın Abstract
    ARTICLE ISSN 2651 - 5210 MODULAR 2019;2(2):21-45 The Cultural Sustainability: Merzifon Anatolia College, Turkey Gizem Özerol1, Aysu Akalın2 Received: 19 November 2019 - Accepted: 17 December 2019 Abstract The article proposes an analysis of the role of American Board of Commissioners for Foreign Missions (ABCFM) during the late Ottoman and the early nationalist (Republican) Turkey and focusses especially on the ABCFM organization and the role of Protestant missionaries, which they succeeded in establishing autonomous schools, hospitals, clinics, orphanages, lodgings and ateliers not only in the capitals, but also in provinces. The American Board began evangelism among Armenians, and the education and the social services became part of the Protestant movement in the Near East. Following efforts to Christianize the nations through evangelism, in the mid of 19th century, Merzifon (Marsovan) province was chosen due to its location in the middle of Anatolia and Merzifon Anatolia College was designed as an important ‘station’ in order to support the American missionary movements. Then, between the years 1886 and 1938, ABCFM built strong connections with Anatolia College in Merzifon to gain a very important strategic position. In the context of the First World War, the function of the Anatolia College buildings has changed for different aims; the military used these buildings as the Artillery Regiment. After the war the ABCFM’s network broke down but its strong contribution to present education in Turkey is inevitable. The site as a heritage is still an active part of the city’s cultural life with some existing buildings of ABCFM supporting culture and education.

In these six years, the institution has clearly grown more complex with addition of the Anatolia Elementary School, the MBA at ACT and a World Bank professional training program throughout Southeast Europe. Yet we have worked hard, and with some success I believe, to keep at each level the human scale and focus on the individual student for which, well into its second century, our institution continues to be known. At the six-year mark, I consider myself blessed with a superb senior management team. Dr. Panos Kanellis, Executive Vice President and Chief Operating Officer, will, along with me, be devoting particular attention to ACT over the coming year.

    Of Women, Faith, and Nation: American Protestantism and the Kyrias School For Girls, Albania by Nevila Pahumi A dissertation submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy (History) in the University of Michigan 2016 Doctoral Committee: Professor Pamela Ballinger, Co-Chair Professor John V.A. Fine, Co-Chair Professor Fatma Müge Göçek Professor Mary Kelley Professor Rudi Lindner Barbara Reeves-Ellington, University of Oxford © Nevila Pahumi 2016 For my family ii Acknowledgements This project has come to life thanks to the support of people on both sides of the Atlantic. It is now the time and my great pleasure to acknowledge each of them and their efforts here. My long-time advisor John Fine set me on this path. John’s recovery, ten years ago, was instrumental in directing my plans for doctoral study. My parents, like many well-intended first generation immigrants before and after them, wanted me to become a different kind of doctor. Indeed, I made a now-broken promise to my father that I would follow in my mother’s footsteps, and study medicine. But then, I was his daughter, and like him, I followed my own dream. When made, the choice was not easy. But I will always be grateful to John for the years of unmatched guidance and support. In graduate school, I had the great fortune to study with outstanding teacher-scholars. It is my committee members whom I thank first and foremost: Pamela Ballinger, John Fine, Rudi Lindner, Müge Göcek, Mary Kelley, and Barbara Reeves-Ellington.

Title: “Centers of Provocation and Progress: Anatolian Missionary Stations Within the Ottoman State and Among Apostolic Armenians, 1878-1896.” This thesis examines American missionaries in the north central Anatolian city of Marsovan, their attempts to convert Apostolic Armenians to Protestantism, the nature of their relations to the Ottoman Empire, and how the sides narrated their encounters between 1878 and 1896. The subject of missionaries in the Near and Middle East has become quite popular in recent years, as interactions between Muslims and Protestant missionaries are a useful prism for research in postcolonial studies.
