Our Staff

At SAI we are proud of our highly qualified, well trained staff and most have been part of SAI for many years. SAI is as committed to our staff as we are to our mission and we know you will feel yourself in highly capable hands.

Every SAI program has a dedicated Admissions Counselor based at our California office, offering full admissions services, and an on-site Program Coordinator based at the host institution in Italy and in London. All of our on-site Italy staff are fluent in Italian, have lived or studied in the city in which they work and are trained by the Italy Program Director and US Directors.
