The Picture of Generosity
Dimitri Georgiadis (1927–2012) Director Emeritus
In the spring of 1996 Dimitri Georgiadis’ passion for photography led him to take a class at Reynolds - and he never left. His roles at the college were numerous: student, probono program head in photography, scholarship benefactor and Director Emeritus of the Educational Foundation. Mr. Georgiadis had a special kinship with the students at Reynolds. As an international businessman, he was fluent in many languages – and, it wasn’t unusual to find him chatting with an ESL student in their native tongue. He would make time to do that because he said he understood what it was like to be in a new country and to want to belong and connect with people. In 2007, Reynolds was proud to recognize Dimitri and his wife Maggie’s longstanding commitment and generosity through the naming of “Georgiadis Hall.” Dimitri passed away in December 2012, but not before devoting 20 years to helping Reynolds students achieve their American Dream as he did.
