Nicolas and Anne Erni Faculty Offices


Anne Erni attended the Bologna Center in 1985 during her junior year abroad from the Johns Hopkins University Krieger School. Following her year in Bologna she graduated from Krieger in 1986 and from SAIS Washington in 1988.

Anne is chief diversity officer at Lehman Brothers in New York. During the summer of 2007 she took a sabbatical and returned to the Bologna Center to study the Italian language. Lidia Licari and Claudia Brighetti were her teachers for one month in Bologna, allowing her to realize her dream to take leave from work to enrich her education with a full immersion in bolognese culture.

To honor Lidia's and Claudia's combined commitment of over 50 superb years of passionate language teaching at the Bologna Center, and to remember her experience in Bologna, Anne and her husband Nicolas participated in the Bologna Center building campaign by naming one of the offices of the Bologna Center language faculty. The naming ceremony took place during the annual meeting of the Bologna Center Advisory Council of which Anne is a dynamic member.
