ITALY TO U.S. PARTNERSHIPS:
A U.S. Presence for Your Institution
Viaita works with select Italian universities, academies, and programs that want to build relationships and reach students in the United States.
We learn your programs, represent them here in the U.S., speak with schools, universities, athletic departments, counselors, students, and families, and stay involved as interest and relationships develop.
The Opportunity in the U.S.
American students are looking abroad in more ways than one.
In 2023-2024, more than 444,000 U.S. students participated in global educational experiences, including traditional study abroad, internships, research, online global learning, and full-degree study overseas. More than 95,000 Americans were enrolled in full-degree programs abroad in countries reporting through IIE’s Project Atlas.
For Italian universities, academies, and programs, the opportunity goes well beyond a traditional semester abroad. U.S. students may be considering full degrees, gap experiences, specialized study, athletic development, or other ways to live and learn in Italy.
Reaching them from Italy, however, is different from having someone based in the U.S. who can meet with schools, attend fairs, speak with students and families, and be available when they are.

How Viaita Represents Your Institution in the U.S.
Before outreach begins, we agree on the role you want Viaita to play and the audiences you want us to reach.
Viaita can:
-
Build relationships with U.S. schools, universities, counselors, athletic departments, and other organizations
-
Speak directly with prospective students and families about your institution and programs
-
Represent your institution at schools, fairs, events, and other U.S. outreach opportunities
-
Answer general questions from students and families about studying and living in Italy, including housing, visas, athletics, and logistics, while bringing admissions and program-specific questions back to your team
-
Follow up with U.S. contacts and prospective students as interest develops
Admissions, academic decisions, eligibility, and program delivery remain with your institution.
How We Work Together
Before Viaita represents your institution, we make sure we understand your programs, your priorities, and how you want to be represented.
01
GET TO KNOW YOUR INSTITUTION
We learn about your programs, who they are designed for, what makes your institution distinctive, and who you hope to reach in the U.S.
02
AGREE ON VIAITA’S ROLE
Together, we decide what Viaita will handle, who we will speak with, how we will communicate with your team, and which questions or decisions need to come directly back to your institution.
03
REPRESENT YOUR INSTITUTION
Viaita begins representing your institution in the U.S., stays in communication with your team in Italy, and follows up with the people we speak with here.
Why Italian Institutions Work With Viaita
Viaita brings firsthand knowledge of both the U.S. and Italy, experience working with schools, universities, athletic programs, students, and families, and a personal approach to representation.
Our broader work in Italy also gives your institution access to resources beyond recruitment. Viaita has in-house licensed Italian legal counsel, along with relationships with attorneys and other professionals in the U.S. and Italy who can be brought in when their expertise is needed.
We work with a select group of institutions because representation is personal. If we put your name in front of someone in the U.S., we want to know your institution, understand what you offer, and represent it in a way that reflects who you are.
