University of Trieste Professor Seeks Young, Italian-American Volunteers for Study
|
Dr. Rosemary Serra, a leading research sociologist from the University of Trieste in Italy, has come to New York as a visiting research scholar at the John D. Calandra Italian American Institute of Queens College, City University of New York, to investigate the status of Italian American identity within the greater New York area.
The tool used to gather the data is a self-administered questionnaire designed by Dr. Serra who hopes to receive responses from hundreds of young Italian Americans falling within the age ranges 18-34.
Dr. Serra will be providing questionnaires through the end of September. Volunteering for this research is a way to express your connection to your culture and offer suggestions about what needs to be done for the future of Italian American identity. Upon completion of her analyses, Dr. Serra will publish the results of her work in articles and eventually in book form.
Interested volunteers can contribute to this ground-breaking and relevant research project through voluntary participation. Please contact Dr. Rosemary Serra at rosemaryserra@libero.it or (212) 951-0704.

| Photo Blast from the Past |
From the OSIA News Archives, 1993:
OSIA elected Joanne Strollo of Cheltenham, Pa., as the 24th National President at the 43rd Biennial National Convention in Palm Beach, Fla. She was unanimously elected by the 200 delegates in attendance on Aug. 28. In her acceptance speech, Strollo encouraged OSIA leaders and members to prepare for the challenges of the next century and to be open to new ways of thinking.
It marked the first time in the Order's 88-year history that a woman was chosen to lead the organization. Strollo lead the Order as National President from 1993-1995.
