Revere resident, Hamilton College senior Gianni Hill awarded Fulbright Teaching Assistantship to Spain
Boston Posse Foundation Scholar is Hispanic studies, public policy major
Clinton, NY (05/14/2021) — Gianni Hill, a resident of Revere and a senior at Hamilton College, has been awarded a Fulbright Teaching Assistantship (ETA) to Spain for the 2021-22 academic year. A Boston Posse Foundation Scholar and Hispanic studies and public policy double major, he will teach English under the flagship international educational exchange program sponsored by the U.S. government.
Hill was selected as an ETA for a program at the Instituto de Empresa University (IEU) in Madrid. Besides assisting Writing Center and teaching staff at IEU, he will support the writing skills subjects that all first-year students must take within their degree programs and tutor students in writing and research skills. He'll also lead the organization in the 3-Minute Thesis competition in the spring.
"After my study abroad experience through Hamilton's Madrid program was cut short last spring due to COVID-19, I am thrilled to have the opportunity to return to Spain," Hill said. "While in Madrid, I will be working closely with students from around the world. I look forward to this incredible opportunity to engage in cultural exchange and to learn more about the bilingual Spanish education system. This will be a foundational experience for my plans to pursue education law in the future."
At Hamilton Hill is research assistant to Government Professor Frank Anechiarico and helped facilitate the College-Community Partnership for Racial Justice program. Hill has been active with Hamilton's Student Assembly, serving as student body vice president and senior class president. He also serves as a lead peer consultant at Hamilton's Oral Communication Center. Hill, a graduate of Revere High School, received the Adam Gordon Campus Service Award at Hamilton's Class & Charter Day Awards ceremony on May 11.
