What Alumni have to say about S2L
“I feel more confident as an Italian American and a woman interested in government. I am entering college as a political science major more excited than ever. I feel that I see clearly my goals for the future. This trip helped me to put this in perspective”
- Lisa Bernabei
“The trip not only fulfilled my goals in learning about business careers, it also enlightened me of the important contributions Italian Americans have made to the business and financial world.”
- Joseph Manzo
“The trip made me feel even more proud of my Italian heritage. It was great to be around peers that are all of the same heritage as myself. This program offers much more that just a free trip to Washington – it is an experience that can be found nowhere else for young Italian American students.”
- Jessica Cromeek
“My experience in New York touched my life on several planes: it provided me with the base knowledge about business and finance that will allow me to make educated career choices in the future; it taught me the skills that are needed to be a leader; and it illustrated the contributions that Italian Americans make every day to business, finance, and the rest of the world. I couldn’t be more proud to be Italian American!”
- James Alfano
“This July I had the wonderful experience of participating in the NIAF S2L Business/Finance Workshop in New York City. It was one of the most beneficial experiences of my life. Because of the S2L program, I was able to make an educated decision about my future.”
- Julia Napolitano, Oconomowoc, WI
“Thank you for the exceptional S2L Government and Public Policy Workshop. Meeting with a diverse and distinguished group of Washington insiders helped me to define my future studies in government and international relations.”

“Through this trip and through all of NIAF’s programs, I now realize that as a young Italian American woman, I belong to a community that has impacted American society.”
- Shari Scalone, Coral Springs, FL
“The S2L Business/Finance Workshop has been one of the highlights of my summer. The experience was beyond my expectations.... I sincerely thank you for the motivation and pride that I have gained from this training, and I look forward to my future involvement with the NIAF.”
- Rocco Sainato, Albany, NY
“I think all of the goals of the S2L program were met. Not only did I get a bigger picture about business and finance, but I also learned how leaders contribute to our society and how important Italian Americans are in the business and finance world.”
- Juliet Di Biase, Wernersville, PA
“I learned so much about government and its role in my own life”
- Danielle Notaro, Southold, NY
