2024 Italian Program Student Awards
The Italian Program Student Awards, an annual event hosted by the Classical & Modern Languages, Literatures and Cultures department, took place on Apr. 23, 2024. This event serves as a platform to acknowledge and celebrate students' outstanding achievements in Italian language classes and studies.
Several renowned Italian community organizations attended the ceremony, including the Consul and representatives from the Dante Alighieri Society of Michigan and the Federazione Abruzzese. Former professors and alums are invited to attend as well.
The Italian department extends its heartfelt gratitude to Alexandra Seros, daughter of Edith Seros, whose generous endowment has significantly contributed to one of our prestigious prizes.
