Join in the Cinquantesimo (fiftieth) festivities on August 10, 2019, at City Springs Center, an exciting spacious new event venue conveniently located on Atlanta’s perimeter. Reminisce with old classmates, reconnect with old friends, share memories and enjoy scrumptious Italian fare.

This momentous 50th Anniversary gathering of alumni and faculty from 1970 – 2019, will provide an opportunity to recognize what a remarkable achievement UGA Cortona represents. As one of the premier study abroad programs, it truly distinguishes UGA international education and the Lamar Dodd School of Art.

Like the 40th Celebration in Atlanta in 2009, over 500 are expected to attend from all over the country. This historic event is an excellent way for alumni to reunite and strengthen those heartfelt ties that connect all Cortona alumni.The event will also be a special tribute to founder and 20 year director, Jack Kehoe, who was sadly lost in 2016. His pioneering vision and extraordinary passion created and nurtured the UGA Cortona Studies Abroad Program which has transformed legions of young lives.

Cinquantesimo is sponsored by CIAO (Cortona Italy Alumni Organization). CIAO was formed in 2009 during planning the 40th celebration. Since then CIAO has hosted events and facilitated alumni communications through the CIAO website, social media platforms, and email list.
