Finance and Real Estate Major

Undergraduate

Alivia Catania ’24

My favorite class by far was Family and Gender in Contemporary Italy with Professor (Carla) Fronteddu. I enjoyed this class so much because it touched on very important and relevant topics in Italy, while also explaining the history that made the country what it is today. The topics ranged from violence against women to gender roles in Fascist Italy to reproductive rights.
