The International Faculty goes to Sheffield: a fantastic trip for our students!
For the first time students from our Faculty travelled to the UK to visit the University of Sheffield and they had a blast! The trip took place 22-25 April 2015 and was organised by our Students’ Union (CSU). Our students, escorted by Ms. Maria Matiaki, Director of the Department of Student Affairs, spent four days in Sheffield full of activities, events, and – of course – fun! Upon their arrival students were welcomed warmly by Prof. Paul White, Pro-Vice Chancellor of the University of Sheffield. They didn’t even miss the opportunity to get a ‘selfie’ with him. In the frame of visit, a tour of the university’s campus took place as well as a tour of the Student’s Union building. Students also strolled around Sheffield in the ‘city walking tour’ escorted by Dr Tim Cooper, International Student Support Officer. They also attended a USE Workshop by Gary Wood, Enterprise Learning Development Officer. One day before their departure our students had the opportunity to do some sightseeing and visit Chatsworth House, the magnificent home of the Duke and Duchess of Devonshire. CSU President, Vachos Xantinidis said: “The Trip to Sheffield was successful and went very well. Participants spent an amazing time doing different kind of activities and workshops. I hope that this trip was the beginning of a new 'tradition' that the CSU (2014-15) initiated for the International Faculty, for the years to come.” Mpampis Trasanidis, Sports and Event Officer, who went on the trip, added: “It was great chance to meet and live for three days with students of other faculties, departments and programmes of our university. Students from the International Faculty should try and organize a trip to Sheffield once per year. It’s an experience not to be missed!” Students returned to Thessaloniki excited from the trip to Sheffield, with memories to share and photos to show to their fellow-students and lecturers.

Faculty Victory over Students in Friendly Basketball Game
A different basketball game took place on Sunday 22 March 2015 at Ivanofio indoor hall in Thessaloniki between our faculty and students, a game that concluded with the faculty’s victory. The friendly rivalry started with a variety of challenges between the faculty and the students. Both teams played particularly well. However the students’ team was not that lucky with their shots leaving the faculty men lead the game. In the end, the faculty men prevailed with a win of 38-32. The faculty team comprised Prof. Panayotis Ketikidis, Vice Principal of CITY College, Dr Dimitris Nikolaidis, Head of the Business Administration & Economics Department (BAED), Mr. George Efstathiadis, Director of the Executive MBA programme, Dr George Eleftherakis, Senior Lecturer at the Computer Science Department, Mr. Alexandros Charalampidis, Lecturer at the BAED, Mr. Nikos Ergen from the Executive MBA, and ex-basketball player and Lecturer at CITY College, Mr. George Pavlidis. “It wasn’t about winning, it was all about having fun; that was the goal of the game and we made it: we did have a lot of fun! Faculty members and students, we all became a big team and learnt from each other, with team spirit being the greatest lesson of all” said Prof. Ketikidis at the end of the game. Students, faculty and administration members from the International Faculty CITY College cheered for both teams during the game. Mr. Pavlidis, who was also the coach of the faculty’s team commented: “It was a really nice game, where staff, lecturers and students competed in equal terms. Both teams tried really hard and gave their best. It was noticeable that there is much room for improvement; something that I am certain can be accomplished by systematic training. Nonetheless, the fans created an excellent atmosphere for us. Well done to all!” From his side Dr Nikolaidis made a clever parallelism of business and sports: “In Sports, as in Business you should never underestimate an opponent; even if they are weak, and they don’t look that fit, adding: In sports as in Business you succeed if you work collectively, as a team. You might have excellent players with a talent, but it is necessary to make them a team and work as a team.” Read all business lessons learnt from the game as outlined by Dr Nikolaidis. At the end there were no losers or winners as everyone enjoyed the game. Now the students are looking forward for the re-match! The faculty/students friendly basketball game was organised by the CITY’s Student Union (CSU). Business Lessons Learnt from the Faculty/Student Friendly Basketball Game You win a game in the field and only after putting 100% of your effort. No game is won, even the easiest one, unless you fight for it until the end. Setting goals is not enough. YOU NEED TO stay focused and FIGHT FOR THEM hard! A SWOT analysis is always useful. Recognizing your Strengths and using them to win the game is rather crucial. Students' strength was the speed, the endurance and the good technique. However it was NOT to play inside or close to end line. Identifying the opponent’s Weaknesses and taking advantage of them by striking there is rather imperative and can give you a great boost. Staff were heavy, moving not very fast and lack endurance. Identifying the opponents Strengths and not allowing to unfold is also a critical point. In Sports, as in Business you should Never underestimate an opponent; even if they are weak, and they don’t look that fit. In sports as in Business you succeed if you work collectively, as a team. You might have excellent players with a talent, but it is necessary to make them a team and work as a team.

Christmas Charities by our students
It's Christmas all over our campus and within this holiday spirit our students led charities to help those in need and spread the love. Like every year, students of the Sunrise Movement run a charity to collect food and clothing items for SOS Children's Village. The community of the International Faculty responded warmly to their call and helped collect goodies for the children. Also, students of our Marketing Club sold T-shirts in support of the DOWN Syndrome Association, an association that they support every year at Christmas through their activities. These initiatives demonstrate that our students understand and appreciate charitable giving and citizenship and we are proud to have such passionate students who go beyond the classroom during their studies with us.

Charity Christmas Party 2014 by our students
On the 17th December 2014, CITY’s Marketing Club (CMC) spread Christmas spirit organised for the fourth consecutive year a charity Christmas party at the “Via Sofou” café, a party that in a way has become a tradition at the International Faculty’s main campus in Thessaloniki. The event aimed at collecting money for the Down Syndrome Organization of Thessaloniki, in an effort to put a smile on children’s faces and assure that they will feel the Christmas cheer. The party entailed numerous interesting and exciting activities for all guests. A lottery was organised specifically in order to raise money for the charity, offering special prizes to guests. Students, lecturers and administration staff all had great fun and exchanged Christmas wishes. We hope that this effort will continue in the years to come, highlighting that CMC apart from its business-oriented projects is also willing to organise and support charity events.
