Roundtable: Sharing Good News in Italian Studies
In an era in which it is not uncommon to hear of the closure of one program or the imperilment of another, this roundtable celebrates the small triumphs in our field. As we remain vigilant lobbying for our field’s at risk programs, we reserve a space here to celebrate successes–however small–and to share with others, in the hopes that similar successful programming can be replicated elsewhere. What implementation has helped your program build community on campus or helped Italian thrive? Has your institution seen a boost in enrollment linked to one particular initiative, or has a newly developed course, extracurricular offering, or study abroad program brought renewed interest to your program?
