The University of Indianapolis – Athens Campus (Greek: Κολλέγιο Ινδιανάπολης Αθηνών) was founded in 1989 by Peter Myrian, Dr. Nicos Peristanis, and Andreas Polemitis as International College, a non profit educational institution. In 1990-1991 it became the University of Indianapolis Athens (UIA) through an agreement of the University of Indianapolis and International College. Under this educational co-operation both institutions flourished with UIA reaching an enrollment of approximately 500 students at the retirement of Peter Myrian (1989-2004). UIA changed its name in 2004 to University of Indianapolis – Athens Campus (UINDY ATHENS). Vasilis J. Botopoulos, a University of Indianapolis Vice President, was named the first Chancellor of the Athens Campus. Under his leadership, the campus exceeded 700 students.
