Staff

Quite a few people work here at Casa Artom. All I remember in years past was a house director/manager and housekeeper. In London it was originally, Rose (then Fiona) and Fran. In Vienna it was Gunther and a young girl from Croatia. Here in Venice we have a large staff:

Laura – Resident Director  Laura directs the daily house activities and manages the program’s financial, legal and administrative proceedings dealing also with external professionals. She also serves as the coordinator between the students and professor in residence. She implements the Venetian Campus’ projects and organizes events in the house and throughout the city.

Roberta –  Coordinator of Student Activities  Roberta is responsible for students’ integration and orientation into the city of Venice and assists students in obtaining the residency permits.

Michela – Administrative Assistant  Michela helps with administrative and organizational activities.

Massimo – Facilities Coordinator  Massimo coordinates the housekeepers’ work and is in charge of the functioning and maintenance of all appliances and electrical equipment at Casa Artom. He also provides technical assistance with audio-visual equipment, fax, printer, washing machines, etc.

Cheti – Housekeeper & Malana – Housekeeper  Cheti and Malana help in keeping Casa Artom clean and tidy. They clean the common areas every day and each bedroom once a week including laundering bed sheets  and towels.

Joy – International Program Assistant (IPA) – Joy serves as a resource to help students tackle the day-to-day challenges of living in a foreign place. She will answer any question about practical matters, such as getting around Venice, making travel plans, helping students purchase an Italian cell phone if they wish to have one.

Other than Joy, who was interviewed back at Wake Forest and came with us, these other people live nearby and have offices here in the house Monday – Thursday. Extremely helpful and hard working, they make Casa Artom successful.
