Chad Davidson, Ph.D.

As Executive Director of Global Engagements within University Advancement, I oversee multiple programs and initiatives based in Central Italy. As a result, 澳门新普京注册 offers an increasing number of academic options for students from the School of Nursing and the School of Communication, Film, and Media, as well as from myriad programs within the College of Humanities, Arts, and Social Sciences. In addition, Spoleto, Italy, is quickly becoming a hub of 澳门新普京注册 community and alumni activity, as we grow our presence in Italy in intentional and mutually beneficial ways. 

As Executive Director of Cultural Programming, I manage a number of arts-based prizes and community projects, including the Other Night School, the Blackwell Prizes (in Painting, Writing, Music, and Filmmaking), the Vault Gallery and Vault Gallery Press, the Michael and Andrea Stone Visiting Artist Series, and the Sewell Lecture Series. All of these activities, both abroad and at home, stress the importance of our university as a cultural and intellectual crossroads, a locus of critical engagement and lifelong learning, whether that be on our home campuses in Carrollton and Newnan, or in Italy, where our relationships with local businesses, schools, and towns offer our west Georgia region a unique opportunity to deepen cultural awareness while enjoying the treasures of the bel paese. 

If you are interested in learning more about west Georgia in Italy or about any of the programs in our home community, reach out.
