Message from the Rector of Hellenic Mediterranean University, Professor Nektarios Papadogiannis, on the National Anniversary of October 28

Dear members of our academic community,

Dear students,

October 28 reminds us that democracy, freedom and justice are not achievements to be taken for granted, but values that require constant vigilance and responsibility.

For the academic community of Hellenic Mediterranean University, and especially for our students, this anniversary highlights the important role of education and knowledge: to foster critical thinking, strengthen democratic awareness and contribute to the development of active and responsible citizens who uphold peace, human rights and international justice.

Guided by historical memory, we honour those who fought before us, invest in knowledge, defend democracy and strive for a future of freedom, equality and justice, away from intolerant views that offer simplistic answers to complex problems.

Best wishes to all on this national anniversary!
