Pierce is hosting the International Universities Expo (IUEXPO) for the fifth consecutive year, the largest international university fair in Greece.
This year, IUEXPO will take place in two parts, with the first dedicated exclusively to studies in the United States.
IUEXPO USA Edition | Thursday, October 1, 9:15AM–12:45PM
On Thursday, October 1, 2026, 25 leading U.S. universities, along with Fulbright Greece, will be at the Aghia Paraskevi campus to present undergraduate study opportunities and summer programs in the United States.
Throughout the morning, Pierce students and their parents will have the opportunity to:
- Attend presentations and workshops led by university representatives
- Learn more about academic programs, admissions processes, and funding opportunities
- Meet individually with university representatives, ask questions, and explore the options that best match their academic and personal interests
Meeting directly with university representatives involved in the admissions process is an especially valuable opportunity for students considering studying in the United States, whether they are just beginning to explore their options or have already started planning their applications.
We invite you to take advantage of this unique opportunity to learn more about your options and connect directly with representatives from leading U.S. universities at the Pierce campus.
