Emily Schiavone, Center Director

With CEA CAPA since 2008, Emily Schiavone is responsible for the management and development of the 弗洛伦斯 Study Center and all study abroad programs that it hosts. 自2014年以来, Emily has provided leadership and direct oversight to the Student Services team, and works closely with the Academic Director on academic matters regarding the 弗洛伦斯 Center and partner institutions. 
 
Emily hails from northeast Ohio, and holds a BA in Art History from Carleton College and an MA in Italian Renaissance Art from Syracuse University. Two study abroad experiences in 弗洛伦斯 prompted Emily to remain after her third stint abroad, and she has called 弗洛伦斯 her permanent home since 2004. Before joining CEA CAPA, Emily worked at an American university in 弗洛伦斯, where she helped to create an archive and database of digital images for teaching purposes and travelled to towns in central 意大利 to teach students art and architectural history on-site.  
 
Emily’s life would not be the same had she not come to 弗洛伦斯 as a university student.  She hopes that students embark their own journey with an open mind, preparedness for unpredictable situations, and confidence; attributes that allow students to discover new things about the world and about themselves.
