Hi! My name is Giulia. I am the associate director of international admissions and a proud graduate of Dickinson College! My family is from Southern Italy (just coming to the United States in 1971),  and since my travels there as a kid, meeting friends from all over the world, I wanted to study international relations, diverse languages and cultures, Italian especially, and study in Italy if I was lucky! It was also important for me to find a close-knit community that felt like a second family as I moved away from my traditional close-knit Italian family.  At Dickinson I found everything I was looking for!  I received personal attention in the small classes, and I made close, long-lasting relationships with my professors, campus employees and friends in Carlisle and Italy!   I double-majored in international studies and Italian studies and spent my junior year living and studying in Dickinson’s Bologna, Italy program.  It was an amazing experience.  I definitely came back fluent in Italian, and I also studied a bit of French and Spanish.  When I was fortunate to begin my career at Dickinson College in 2002, as an employee this time, I studied German!  Being part of the Dickinson community allows me to use all of these languages anytime with our faculty, students, language resources (tables, movies, TV, newspapers) and really helps me during my travels!

It has been a great pleasure working with international students, families and schools all over the world, helping them learn about my alma mater and the U.S.admissions process in general.  I have been blessed with the incredible opportunity to visit several countries and personally experience our students’ communities as I welcome them into ours. I welcome YOU to meet our community, view some of my past travels and explore a wealth of information on our international admissions site. Along with my pictures, you can review helpful brochures, our admissions overview and application forms specific to the needs of international students. Best of all, you can connect with some of our current international students, alumni and parents from all over the world.   If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to contact me at rinaldig@dickinson.edu! I look forward to working with you and all international students, U.S./dual citizens attending school outside of the United States, and students in the U.S. Virgin Islands, Puerto Rico and Guam!

Ciao!
