Italian Studies Advisory Board
In recent years, the Department of Languages at Clemson University has established a dynamic Italian Studies program, which currently includes a minor and a Bachelor of Arts in Modern Languages. We are pleased to announce the latest addition to the program, the Italian Studies Advisory Board. The board held its first meeting on February 27, 2009 and has been incorporated to promote initiatives, strategies and policies to enhance, develop and advance Clemson University's Italian Studies program. This is an effort to not only further the cause of promoting Italian language and culture at Clemson, but also throughout the state and beyond.
The founding members of this board are board chairman, Paul Abenante, Gabriel Battista, Cav. Joseph Coccia, Jr., Dr. Rosetta D'Angelo, Mark Magliocchetti, John Marino, Dr. Christine Ristaino, Dr. John Rosa, and Dr. Barbara Zaczek. The professions and board memberships of each brings a valued and dynamic dimension to this advisory board.
The National Italian American Foundation, along with the Italian Studies Advisory Board, and the Italian Studies program at Clemson, are pleased to announce that the National Italian American Foundation Public Policy Speaker series will make its way to Clemson's campus on Friday, November 20, 2009. The guest speaker will be Peter Pace, retired four-star general of the U.S. Marine Corps and former chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff.
