FIG Assistant: Eve Posner

Ciao! My name is Eve Posner (she/her), and I will be the FA for the Bella Italia! FIG this year. I am a junior at UO, and this will be my second year serving as an FA. Last fall, I was the FA for the Telling Power FIG, but I am excited to be back with the Bella Italia! FIG this fall. I’m from outside of Washington D.C., specifically Arlington, Virginia. I am a Global Studies major with a Food Studies minor and possibly a Global Service minor. During my first term at UO, I was in the Bella Italia! FIG, which was a very fun and engaging way to get acquainted with UO. I have continued to study Italian ever since my first semester, and I will be studying abroad in Italy this summer and next spring. I would be glad to help you practice Italian or talk to you about how you can study abroad in Italy (or anywhere else) during your time at UO!

I was drawn to UO by the beautiful surroundings and the laid-back vibe. On campus, one of my favorite places is the Pioneer Cemetery because it is a great place to take a breath and enjoy the towering fir trees. When I have a little spare time, I like to take film photos, grab coffee at Espresso Roma, or go to the Saturday Market. 

I had a great time when I was in a FIG. My FA was a really valuable resource for all kinds of questions about life at UO, and I hope that I can serve that role for you. Please feel free to send me an email this summer if you've got any questions or concerns about the FIG, first-year life, or transitioning to college. I am looking forward to an excellent time with the FIG this fall! A presto!
