Imagine graduating high school at age 18, and then traveling to Florence, Italy to be a research intern at the Medici Archive Project. Think about spending your days researching, transcribing, and translating archives from Italian and Latin to English and visiting libraries all over Italy searching for important documents relating to the famous Medici family and other important Florentine figures. That’s exactly how Noah Dasinger’s career began. In the years since his Italian adventure, he has earned a bachelor’s degree in art history from the University of Alabama with minors in history and Italian and a master’s degree from the University of Georgia. He is currently a PhD student at Penn State University. Noah aspires to be a professor of early modern Italian art history. He says, “When you graduate high school, you have the time to cultivate various interests and hobbies,” and he encourages students to make the most of this opportunity.
If you know a successful Gadsden City alumnus who is thriving somewhere around the world, we would love to include them in the Our Titan Family is Going Places campaign.
They can upload a short video (less than two minutes) and a photo here. The video should be an introduction of themselves, a synopsis of what they do in their career, and the coolest work-related experience they’ve had so far.
Make sure the video is between :30 and 2 minutes. The photo should be of just them with a background that reflects what they are doing in their career. They should be sure to use their name (first and last) as the file name for the photo and the video.
Along with the photo and video, they’ll need to complete the short survey here.
