The first day of events scheduled for the National Italian American Foundation’s NAIF on Campus program was a discussion about the current state of Italian organizations on campuses across the United States. I asked Anna what she took away from the discussion:

We discussed three aspects in particular: Internships, mentoring and networking and hopefully we can see how we can work together with NIAF to create more opportunities like this, but also keep Italian heritage central to this.

In the following posts Anna will discuss some of the projects at Penn State that she anticipates working on as a fellow this year and ways in which the community of NIAF fellows can collaborate.
