Kudos! Over the past several years, many UGA Italian students have studied at Siena Italian Studies, an intensive language program (including service learning) that places students in Italian homes for the duration of their stay. This semester SIS began to offer a scholarship competition with funds made available by the “Ulisse” Cultural Association of Siena. The scholarship allows the student’s total costs (tuition, room, board) to be cut in half. We are proud to announce that UGA Italian major Alexis SantaRomana, whom you see below (on the left) in the Piazza del Campo, was awarded this prestigious scholarship for Spring semester. Congratulations Alexis!
Congratulations to María Antonia Deal Gama, Ph.D. 2008, for the publication of her book Novelística de Tristán Solarte on the Panamanian author.
