During the award ceremony, we had the great pleasure of having with us Mr Arthur Christopher whose contribution to the College was recognized by naming the Deree court after him.
Mr Arthur Christopher served for forty (40) years, from 1972 to 2012, as Athletic Director at Deree and started and developed an extremely successful program, comparable with those of US colleges. During his stay in Greece he played professional basketball in AEK Athens, was a Greek national team member and after his playing career, one of the top Greek coaches. At Deree, he is – and will be – well remembered and respected for his vision, hard work, character and ethos.
