This is the final week to apply for the Italian Diaspora Studies Summer Seminar (see the online informational brochure). Interested faculty and staff should contact: calandra@qc.cuny.edu no later than Friday, Feb. 27, 2026.

Also note, as shown in the online brochure, CUNY’s Office of the Executive Vice Chancellor for Academic Affairs and Provost to the University has offered four fellowships. This enables four full-time CUNY colleagues to attend the three-week professional development seminar on the Italian diaspora at no cost. The fellows will stay at a four-star hotel for three weeks, attend classes at Roma Tre University, and receive breakfast and lunch. This fellowship covers the seminar’s $3,500 fee. Airfare and other costs are not included.
