The Inserra Chair is strongly committed to fundraising in the community in the service of students in the Italian Program at 精品成人福利在线 University, and in collaboration with the 精品成人福利在线 University Foundation\/Advancement Office. Over the years, this effort has included a targeted and successful proposal to our main donor, Lawrence R. Inserra, Jr.<\/a>, which has led to the creation of a Scholarship Fund for paid internships with an international component. For several years, the Columbian Foundation<\/a> has been a partner in supporting 精品成人福利在线 University students of Italian as program assistants, and, as of recent, a large endeavor with the New Jersey Italian Heritage Commission <\/a>has enhanced the outreach of innovative bridge programs with local high schools.

\nLawrence R. Inserra, Jr. Scholarship Program for paid internship with an international component
\n<\/strong><\/p>\n

Mr. Inserra and his family have provided a unique form of support in ground-breaking pre-professional opportunities for our students between 2017-18 and 2019-20 ($30,00 over three years). Their donation has allowed the offering of paid internships (with support ranging from $2,500 to $5,000 per student) in partnership with major Italian and American institutions. Internships are organically linked to major areas of focus in the Italian Program at 精品成人福利在线, from Italian Business\/Made in Italy<\/a> to Translation for Opera<\/a> and Italian Teaching Abroad<\/a>. These internships constitute a unique opportunity not just because they provide a stipend (in the form of tuition cost defrayal) but mostly because they embrace a stay in Italy whether in the form of a business trip, a residence at an international festival, or a summer program for middle and high school students. The extraordinary generosity of Mr. Inserra was recognized at the 2019 精品成人福利在线 University Annual Gala <\/a>where he was celebrated as the Honoree of the Year.<\/p>\n

\nColumbian Foundation Scholarships<\/strong><\/p>\n

The Inserra Chair in Italian and Italian American Studies, along with the Italian Program at 精品成人福利在线 University and the 精品成人福利在线 University Foundation, is pleased about the continuous support of the Columbian Foundation.<\/a> For the sixth year in a row, the organization has renewed a generous $2,000 donation via the Inserra Chair in Italian and Italian American Studies. Charles DiLorenzo (Executive Secretary, Columbian Foundation) is pleased to meet every recipient in person and pays an annual visit to 精品成人福利在线 University to bestow the donation to students.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe renewed support coming from the Columbian Foundation is a reminder of the important role of the community in tangibly endorsing the field of Italian Studies and valuing its role in the education of American students. 精品成人福利在线 University offers quality education at an affordable price, and such gifts further help students earn their degree. We are very grateful to the Columbian Foundation,\u201d Dr. Teresa Fiore, Inserra Chair, states.<\/p>\n
